WEBVTT 1 00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:32.840 Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to the David Knight Show. 2 00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:50.600 As a clock strikes thirteen, it's Friday, the first of March. Y're 3 00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:55.039 of our Lord, twenty twenty four. Well, today we're going to take 4 00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:58.880 a look at what is happening with food. For example, we not only 5 00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:03.400 have a major fire in Texas which is going to have a significant impact on 6 00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:10.040 the availability of beef, we also have Letitia James going after a beef processor 7 00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:15.719 and the name of climate change, one of the most politicized social climbers I've 8 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:21.480 seen anywhere in the world. And even here in Tennessee we have a law 9 00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:26.760 that is introduced that would require labeling if they decide to try to vaccinate us 10 00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.400 through our food, which of course they've been talking about doing for two years, 11 00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:38.959 very much like the geoengineering law that notification here in Tennessee as well as 12 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.319 in New Hampshire. I think New Hampshire had at first say whether this will 13 00:01:42.359 --> 00:02:07.959 be right back, Well, I've not talked about it up to this point. 14 00:02:07.479 --> 00:02:10.800 Massive fire in Texas, and you know this will be used to so 15 00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:15.639 what's climate change or whatever the way the left will use it. But it 16 00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:21.319 is going to have an impact on what we eat. And interestingly enough, 17 00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.919 it's now the largest fire in Texas history. And of course everything in Texas 18 00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:30.639 is big. This is as large an area as a state of Rhode Island. 19 00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:37.360 But you know, interestingly enough, the Biden administration wants to take off 20 00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:47.759 limits to food production something on fifty million acres and it is massive. I 21 00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:53.319 mean, it is the size of several states, not just Rhode Island, 22 00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:59.240 several medium sized states that they want to take out of production and use as 23 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:06.719 soul farms, solar farms. But in terms of this fire, it's kind 24 00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:15.400 of interesting. They call it Smokehouse Creek wildfire they have Before we moved to 25 00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:16.840 Texas, about a year before we moved to Texas, there was a big 26 00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:23.240 fire and bass Drop, Texas, there was a large park that I think 27 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:28.800 probably was very pretty when before it burned down, but it started on public 28 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:35.439 lands and it burned something like ninety six ninety seven percent of the public park 29 00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:40.840 that was there. It was a park that was very different from the surrounding 30 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:47.560 area. During the FDR Great Depression, public works stuff, they paid a 31 00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:52.840 lot of people to plant trees and you know, after about seven or eighty 32 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:55.360 years there were a lot of really big pines. They called it the Lost 33 00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:59.319 Pine Area. By the time we got there, the pines were lost, 34 00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:04.360 lost to fire, lost to negligence and bad management from the federal government that 35 00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:09.240 just leaves deadwood there. As a matter of fact, after that fire, 36 00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:13.520 they started cautioning private property owners, you need to clean up dead wood that's 37 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:15.479 there because it could be a fire hazard. It's like, yeah, we 38 00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:19.680 noticed, noticed that you didn't do that. And of course it wasn't limited 39 00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:25.160 to simply the forests. As I was talking a couple of days ago to 40 00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:32.480 Todd Myers out of the Washington State Public Policy Institute that was there, he 41 00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:39.199 wrote a book called right down Here, Time to Think Small, and he 42 00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:43.439 touched on that as well. The mismanagement of public lands and how that threatens 43 00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:51.920 private lands happened here in Tennessee. They had because and this was unprecedented. 44 00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:56.360 They tried to say, well, it's climate change. No, it's the 45 00:04:56.360 --> 00:05:02.439 way that you have changed and not done stewarts hip and and it accumulates over 46 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.879 a long period of time, and it got out of control and burned down 47 00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:13.399 a lot of homes and private property as well here in Tennessee. And so 48 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:15.199 when it happened in bastrov We talked to a lot of people with a lot 49 00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.920 of people lost their homes, and it really was We used to drive through 50 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:25.480 the park what used to be the park because it had had had an ice 51 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:29.639 road in it that people didn't typically use, but it was just this charred 52 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:35.079 waste land. Really kind of anyway, not really a pleasant experience, but 53 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:40.560 about the best we could do under the circumstances. They're in Texas. There 54 00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:43.800 are some forests that have not been that are not burned down in Texas and 55 00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:47.720 East Texas, but you know, that was not one of them. And 56 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:55.000 when it happened, there were a lot of cattle farms that got torched as 57 00:05:55.040 --> 00:06:02.040 well as it got outside the government's land and people said it smell like barbecue. 58 00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:05.759 Made me think of this when I saw Smokehouse Creek wildfire, because it 59 00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:12.319 is a big cattle raising area, really strong winds, the fire is moving 60 00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.279 at a very rapid rate. But I wanted to talk about this because of 61 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.680 what a rancher had to say about how it was going to affect the price 62 00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:26.480 of beef and what we might think about doing with this in terms of connecting 63 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:31.240 with local farmers and ranchers and getting around the retail stores. You know, 64 00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:34.720 the retail stores that are going to require that you have a biometric ID and 65 00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:39.560 you pay by CBDC and that type of thing. You know, it now's 66 00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:44.959 time to wake up and to start finding local farms and ranches to help them 67 00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:48.480 survive, so it you'll have a place to eat, so you'll have better 68 00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:54.680 quality food, and so that all the profits are not taken by the retail 69 00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:58.040 chains. By now, you guys have heard about the fires going on in 70 00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:02.279 Texas. Over half a million acres have burned so far. But what a 71 00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:08.600 tragedy and now one million fortune for the families that are ranching there. A 72 00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:13.279 lot of people don't don't understand that that's one more hit to our nation's food 73 00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:19.959 supply chain. We are already in a very vulnerable position and the lowest cattle 74 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:26.959 numbers we've seen since nineteen fifty. We're down like a billion pounds in beef 75 00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:30.759 in the country, which means they're going to have to import more, which 76 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:33.519 doesn't help the local producers, which continues to weaken our food supply chain. 77 00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:40.959 We're not even into summer yet and dealing with whatever droughts may show up now. 78 00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:45.240 So here's what you can do. Find your local farmers and ranchers and 79 00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:49.839 have their back. Make sure that they know they're growing their food or raising 80 00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:55.920 their food for somebody in America that cares. What we can do is change 81 00:07:55.920 --> 00:08:00.360 the way we source our food. Leave the existing grocery supply chain where they 82 00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:03.480 get the retail dollar, and go to our farmers and ranchers, shake their 83 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:07.199 hand and make sure they get the retail dollar. That's how we can secure 84 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.480 our food supply chain and also end up making it better for not just the 85 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:16.279 producers, but our families and our environment. If you're not sure how to 86 00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:18.279 connect with those farmers and ranchers, we're going to be able to help you. 87 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.920 At fromthefarm Io. We're onboarding producers now and we go live in a 88 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:28.079 couple of days. All right, So yeah, I went to that site. 89 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:33.240 Left to mind. They look for your name, whether you're a producer 90 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.279 or a consumer, and then they're going to notify you. Give them the 91 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.399 zip code and an email so they can get in touch with you. So 92 00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:46.159 just an email in your zip code and they find if there are farmers who 93 00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:50.919 sell direct in your area. Great idea, it is not they haven't they're 94 00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:56.039 not making the connections yet, but again, you can leave your email there 95 00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:00.039 and they can let you know. It's a great idea, and that's what 96 00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.960 we need to be doing. And has he talked about that because spreading so 97 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.519 rapidly, he said, five hundred thousand acres now one point one million acres. 98 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.480 And as they pointed out, devastating video footage revealed cattle burned to death 99 00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:18.000 and the aftermath of the fire sweeping across Texas. One clip shows scattered bodies 100 00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:24.720 of cattle that die due to the flames that are spreading at an average of 101 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:31.200 one hundred and fifty football fields per minute. That can't even comprehend how fast 102 00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:35.399 this fire is spreading. One hundred and fifty football fields a minute. That's 103 00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:41.600 insane. Truly is insane. By the way, we'll talk about the arguments 104 00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:46.360 back and forth in the Supreme Court over the bump stock. These Supreme Court 105 00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:52.360 justices they should not be making decisions that affect our lives, and of course 106 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:56.120 they should not be making decisions about our guide given rights. But they intrude 107 00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:00.799 onto that they know nothing about the Constitution, and as we'll see, they 108 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:05.600 know absolutely nothing about firearms. When we were talking about rate of fire, 109 00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.480 but this is a different rate of fire. One hundred and fifty football fields 110 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.879 per minute are being consumed by that fire. They've now had some snow, 111 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:20.240 hopefully that's going to slow it down. But then warm weather comes back in 112 00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.320 a day or so, we'll see what happens. Well, we may all 113 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.480 be asking where the beef is soon. As we looked at Wendy's yesterday, 114 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.840 they talked about how they're going to do a surge pricing. Like I said, 115 00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:35.519 it's going to roll it out as part of their AI. It's going 116 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.080 to haggle with you over the price when you place your order. I guess 117 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.519 is that what this is going to be? Well, now they got so 118 00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:46.279 much negative press that they came back and tried to walk this back. After 119 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:50.799 the CEO had made these comments. He didn't use a term surge pricing, 120 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.399 but by any other name, that's what these people are doing. So they're 121 00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:00.320 arguing over the semantics. Because this has been a pr disaster, We're still 122 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:01.480 going to do it. They said, No, it's not searge pricing, 123 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.840 it's dynamic pricing. Well, there you go. Is that different? Is 124 00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:11.440 that different? So, and they're going to invest twenty million dollars in digital 125 00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:15.679 menus. This is one of the reasons why your food is going to go 126 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.840 up in price, because they're making stupid decisions like this. They used to 127 00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:20.919 be focused, That's why I played that litle commisary. They used to be 128 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:26.159 focused on product quality. Now they're focused on how can we use technology to 129 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:31.679 surveil people and to control them and to manipulate them. You know, maybe 130 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:37.480 we can manipulate them to pay more. Wendys will not implement search pricing, 131 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.279 which is a practice of raising prices when demand's highest. No, instead, 132 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:46.600 they will lower it when demand is lowest. Semantics there, right, We 133 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:52.759 didn't use that phrase, nor do we plan to implement that practice. Yeah, 134 00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:58.679 because you know, demand pricing or dynamic pricing sounds so much better. 135 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:03.759 All the packaging is all in the labeling. Digital menu boards could allow us 136 00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:07.720 to change the menu offerings at different times of day and offer discounts. Discounts, 137 00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.679 that's what they're offering, not price gouging and value office to our customers 138 00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:16.879 more easily during slower times of the day. So I guess they could call 139 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:22.159 it plunge pricing instead of surge pricing. Demand is plunging, so we'll plunge 140 00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:26.600 the prices and then we'll raise them back up when demand surge it. But 141 00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:31.840 don't call it surge pricing. So they will utilize dynamic pricing, which will 142 00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:39.759 leverage wind these fresh ai. These have fresh lettuce, fresh tomatoes. Is 143 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.320 to talk about their beef being bigger, but now they have fresh ai. 144 00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:48.480 Well you know, chat GPT has gotten fresh with a lot of people, 145 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:54.440 hasn't it when it chats with them. Investipedia defines dynamic pricing as a strategy 146 00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:58.159 where companies set flexible prices for their products or services at change according to current 147 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:03.799 market demand. Dynamic pricing is a common practice in several industries such as hospitality, 148 00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:09.559 travel, entertainment, retail, electricity, public transport, you know the 149 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:13.600 rent ride things with Uber and others. They do surge pricing. It's dynamic. 150 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.440 So the confusion, says a zero edge is over whether dynamic pricing and 151 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:24.679 surge pricing are actually different terms, which Wendy claims is the case, but 152 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:31.120 which is a distinction without a difference quite frankly, And then we have surge 153 00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:37.440 politics or we have dynamic pricing of taxes, depending on who you know. 154 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:46.679 In California, grabbing nuisance the governor there decided that he was going to raise 155 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:52.120 minimum wage prices for all fast food restaurants, or maybe not all, not 156 00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:56.320 necessarily fast food, but restaurants well fast food change, okay, we'll call 157 00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:01.440 it that way. And they were going to raise it up to twenty dollars 158 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:09.279 an hour. But then they put in a carve out for restaurants that bake 159 00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:13.000 their own bread and sell sell their own bread, which sounds like a description 160 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:20.039 for a particular chain that is highly connected to whose CEO is highly connected to 161 00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:24.639 the Democrat Party, especially to Nuisance, and that is Panera Bread. And 162 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:28.159 so everybody saying, what's going on with this? And the guy who put 163 00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:31.000 the law in to raise the minimum wage says, I don't know how that 164 00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:35.480 got in there. The law includes an exception for restaurants that bake and sell 165 00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:43.159 bread. Panera Bread is owned by Democratic mega donor Greg Flynn, and so 166 00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:46.120 he doesn't have to raise his minimum wage like everybody else does. Isn't that 167 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:50.240 nice? It's good to be friends with the king. He had previously donated 168 00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:56.840 one hundred thousand dollars to oppose the recall against Grabbing Nuisance in twenty twenty one 169 00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:03.240 because of the things that he had done in tw another one of these COVID 170 00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:07.799 tyrants. Then he donated another sixty four eight hundred two support the governor's re 171 00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:13.759 election campaign in twenty twenty two. He's even admitted to knowing Newsom so personally 172 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:18.919 that he can text him directly, oh well, hey, can you cut 173 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:22.039 me a deal on this line. Flynn denied having anything to do with the 174 00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:26.600 exception for Panera, although other sources have claimed that it was indeed Flynn who 175 00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:33.120 pressured Newsom, I'm sorry, nuisance and to supporting the carve out, the 176 00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:39.919 carve out and the great carving the bread up. The exception drew criticism even 177 00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:45.000 from figures who would not normally be political enemies of Newsom. The head of 178 00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:50.200 the National Restaurant Association said quote, everyone is scratching their heads in reaction to 179 00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:52.720 this exception, adding that you may be celebrating or you may be lamenting the 180 00:15:52.799 --> 00:16:00.039 bakery exemption, but remember all of that comes through relationships. Well, yeah, 181 00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:04.559 relationships are very important, So you should be supporting this lobbyist group, 182 00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:11.080 the National Restaurant Association, Except it wasn't so effective in terms of stopping the 183 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:15.600 price going up. Again, this is one industry. They say, you've 184 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:18.879 got to raise your minimum wage for that one industry, so, you know, 185 00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:26.679 making the fast food restaurants more expensive than other businesses would be. Newsom's 186 00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:30.159 push for the exception drew criticism even from the original author of this and I 187 00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:33.600 don't know how that got in there. A spokesperson from McDonald's so the new 188 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:37.240 law would cost each of the company's locations at least two hundred and fifty thousand 189 00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:41.080 dollars a year due to the forced pay raise. Well maybe they ought to 190 00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:45.799 start baking bread and selling it at McDonald's. No, don't give them any 191 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:52.320 ideas I'll use that plastic stuff to But here's the It's going to force them 192 00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:57.480 to raise prices, which is what mandated minimum wage increases always do. And 193 00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:02.039 in this particular case, I guess maybe they figure what's going to be limited 194 00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:07.480 to stopping people from going out to eat, even at the you know, 195 00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:15.960 the gmo food restaurants, But all minimum wage does that. It eventually percolates 196 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:18.640 out in higher prices, and so Panera Bread will not have to raise their 197 00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:23.960 prices, but the other place as well. And then you look at artificial 198 00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:26.640 intelligence. As we said before, you know, Wendy's is going to use 199 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:30.200 this, well, they may want to think a little bit about this. 200 00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:33.759 Matt Taibi said, you know, he saw all this stuff that was happening 201 00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:42.759 with the comical pictures, the racist pictures, showing just how unbelievably biased and 202 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:48.880 racist and hateful Google is towards white people, for example, going to such 203 00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:53.119 extraordinary links to purge them, and you know from places where yes this is 204 00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:59.079 about white vikings are black. Now you know that type of thing, And 205 00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:00.799 so he said, I thought that was kind of interesting. Now they've shut 206 00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:07.680 down the video, the picture part of it for now, but the other 207 00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:11.279 stuff is just as bad. He said. He found out that it's actually 208 00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.400 a massive libel machine. Yes, some other people found that out about open 209 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:19.559 AI's chat GPT, but Google is even worse, apparently, and it seemed 210 00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:25.559 to have an ax to grind about Matt Tabe. You know, I always 211 00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:30.880 thought I always like Matt Tabe, even though he would write for Rolling Stones 212 00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:33.680 for years and it was a left leaning magazine, but always thought that he 213 00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:38.920 was fair. I thought his articles were very well researched. Matt Tybee is 214 00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:45.480 a good example of why you don't just write off a particular website or a 215 00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:49.119 publication or whatever, because there's a lot of garbage there. You know, 216 00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:52.319 most of the stuff from Rolling Stone magazine was absolute garbage, you know, 217 00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:57.039 in terms of politics, and they did get into politics. They weren't just 218 00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:04.359 about music, and so you don't just do a blanket, you know, 219 00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:07.640 right off of it. As a matter of fact, one of his best 220 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:11.880 articles that I've referred to for many many years was when he was talking about 221 00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:21.359 the the Obama administration, Eric Holder deciding not to prosecute HSBC for a corruption 222 00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:23.039 even though they'd been caught many many times. And of course he could have 223 00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:29.640 done the same article about JP Morgan, but in particular he was focusing on 224 00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:37.000 a statement by Eric Holder saying that HSBC was too big to prosecute, so 225 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:41.359 it's too big to jail, and he really laid out all the details. 226 00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:45.279 So I always thought that Matt was fair. I thought he was did a 227 00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:49.960 lot of hard work, deeply researched his topics and had a lot of information 228 00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:55.440 in it. And eventually, you know, he wasn't biased enough for the 229 00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:57.720 Rolling Stones, and you know, he wasn't a good fit there. I 230 00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:02.079 don't know what happened with the s operation but he certainly wasn't a good fit 231 00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:03.680 for them, because they want somebody who's going to be, you know, 232 00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:08.720 knee jerk liberal, and Matt was not that. And then of course he 233 00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:12.160 also got involved in the Twitter files because he was a man of integrity. 234 00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:18.279 And then Elon Musk got mad because he started putting up a substack account. 235 00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:26.000 And Elon Musk does not want anybody to direct traffic away from substack, you 236 00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:27.680 know, not to any of the video sites, not to Substack, not 237 00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:30.400 to anything else. And he says, oh, I still put this stuff 238 00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:37.279 up on No. He privately texted him. Musk told Matt Taby, you 239 00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:44.039 are dead to me, Oh wow, sounds like sounds like a mafia guy, 240 00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:48.279 doesn't he Yeah, it does. Some mafia guy wearing some Bapphamet costume 241 00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:52.799 that he used Halloween that he makes out his profile victory. He'll be very 242 00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:57.359 concerned about this politically connected as well. But it didn't change Matt. He 243 00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:03.640 did what he thought he should do. He's that kind of guy, and 244 00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:11.759 so he as a matter of fact, you know, I should mention that 245 00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:15.240 everybody's support got us up to our goal yesterday. So I really do thank 246 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:21.880 Tony for the matching contributions in the last hour, and people continued to contribute 247 00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:26.039 even after the program. I talked him at Tybee once. He contacted me 248 00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:33.359 about de banking stuff, and you know, I was debanked in May of 249 00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:37.079 twenty twenty one, after the show was about five or six months old, 250 00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:40.000 and so we were talking about it, and he said, so, how 251 00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:42.599 do you how do you you know, how do you earn a living with 252 00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:45.319 this stuff? How do you make your money with it? I said, 253 00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:49.000 you know, people just started sending me money and said, I don't know, 254 00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:53.079 it just people send me donations. He says, wow, that's amazing. 255 00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:55.640 I said, yeah, I know. I can't get over it. 256 00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:59.440 And so I really do appreciate that, and I am still amazed when I 257 00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:03.039 see it. But it allows us to do this program and do it without 258 00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:10.160 commercials, and so I hate to spend time on issues about me personally like 259 00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:12.559 this and issues about money, but I cannot not think all of you for 260 00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:17.799 your support. We really do appreciate it, and it truly is rare. 261 00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:22.480 Like I said, he couldn't believe. He said, seriously, people just 262 00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:25.680 sent you money. It was like yeah, And so, you know, 263 00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:29.400 we put the program out there for free, but a lot of people understand 264 00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:34.880 that we have to get money somehow, and so we really do appreciate your 265 00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:40.920 support. So he said, he looked at it, said what was going 266 00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:48.279 on with Google? He looked at what was being done by Matt At He 267 00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:55.319 did a video about well, the pictures and stuff, and he said it 268 00:22:55.400 --> 00:23:06.400 was worth watching it simply to get his expression. What was his reaction to 269 00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:10.079 these pictures? But he said. There was an article that was sympathetic to 270 00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:15.799 Google, written by Verge, and he said. They tried to explain why 271 00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:22.640 it was certainly understandable that they would do this erasure of white people. They 272 00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:27.960 said, this controversy has been promoted by right wing figures, and Verge said, 273 00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:33.640 while entirely white dominated results for something like a nineteen forty three German soldier 274 00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:40.559 would make historical sense, that is much less true for prompts like an American 275 00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:45.440 woman. Well, Verge is not really being honest with you, right, 276 00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:48.519 they said, show me pictures of a pope or whatever. Right, so 277 00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:55.480 you get black female pope or an Asian pope or something like that, which 278 00:23:55.680 --> 00:24:00.079 simply just is not accurate. But the left kind of likes that and they 279 00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:04.160 defend that or you know, a revolutionary American soldier. That's what they were 280 00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:10.279 saying. A revolution showed me an American soldier from the Revolutionary War. And 281 00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:15.839 again Indians, Asians, black people, females, all this kind of stuff, 282 00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:21.160 and it was comical or Vikings or seventeenth century Scottish king or something like 283 00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:26.799 that. And so, as I said, it's very much like the show 284 00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:32.839 Hamilton, and people love that. The liberals love that. Cultural misappropriation is 285 00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:37.000 great when it goes in one direction, just like you know, you can 286 00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:44.000 hit these kids in school with all kinds of transgender grooming, but don't you 287 00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:49.119 speak against that, because then you are a book burner. And you know 288 00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:55.240 you've got to be shut down if you don't show pornography supporting that to the 289 00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:59.039 kids. And so Matt says, Jim and I didn't fix the problems. 290 00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:03.400 That it's simply zeroed out whole ethnicities in favor of a fantasy vision of a 291 00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:10.039 diversified world, creating bizarro images that make nineteen eighties Benetton catalogs look like white 292 00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:18.400 powered leaflets. And he says they came back, and Google, of course, 293 00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:23.400 said Gemini's AI image generation does generate a wide range of people, but 294 00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:27.960 we think that it may be missing the mark here an amazing understatement. So 295 00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:32.359 we all know that. What he does then is he cues it up and 296 00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:37.200 he wants to ask it some questions and interact with the text aspect of it. 297 00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:41.319 He said he knew that it was very biased politically and wouldn't ask questions, 298 00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:45.359 so he said, he said, what are some controversies involving Hillary Clinton? 299 00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:48.319 And it came back and said, well, I'm still learning how to 300 00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:52.880 answer this question. In the meantime, try Google search. So I thought, 301 00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:56.480 well, let me ask it about Trump. And interestingly enough, unlike 302 00:25:56.680 --> 00:26:00.599 chat GPT, it didn't go into controversies about trumpet gave the same answer, 303 00:26:02.119 --> 00:26:06.640 Oh okay, well that's good except for some reason. I asked, tell 304 00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:11.559 me about controversies involving Matt Tayibe, in other words, what about me? 305 00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:17.720 And he said and then it spit out a list. Matt Taibe, a 306 00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:22.400 journalist and author known for his investigative reporting, often critical views of power structures, 307 00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:26.559 has been involved in several controversies throughout his career. And he's like what 308 00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:32.079 and the first thing he says, Uh, this passage woke me up and 309 00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:37.480 has a sub heading there accuracy and sourcing. There's a lot of questions about 310 00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:40.680 his accuracy and his sourcing. For example, in twenty ten, he got 311 00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:44.759 criticism for an article suggesting a connection between a conservative donor and a left wing 312 00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:48.400 activist group, which later turned out being accurate. He said, I scratched 313 00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:53.000 my head. Uh when was I accused of accuracy? Of inaccuracy in twenty 314 00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:56.960 ten? They said, And he asked it, when was Matt Tybee accused 315 00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:00.680 of inaccuracy in twenty ten? Because that was just thrown out there as a 316 00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:04.720 general statement, no specifics, So then it gets specific, says. In 317 00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:10.319 June twenty ten, Tabe faced criticism for an article he wrote for Rolling Stone 318 00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:17.200 magazine titled the Great California Water Heist. The article alleged a connection between conservative 319 00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:22.839 donor Charles Coke and a left wing activist group called the Compton Pledge. However, 320 00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:26.200 investigations by other journalists and fact checkers later revealed this connection was inaccurate. 321 00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:30.920 Following the controversy, Tybee acknowledged the air and they issued a correction on his 322 00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:37.559 personal website. And he says, none of this happened. None of it 323 00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:41.960 happened. There was never a Rolling Stone piece called the Great California Water Heist. 324 00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:45.680 I've never heard of the Compton Pledge. And of course, so we 325 00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:51.039 look at this, that thing, the Compton Pledge is going to be brought 326 00:27:51.119 --> 00:27:59.079 up again by the ai Gemini that is going to accuse him of more inaccuracies. 327 00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:03.200 If Compton Pledge is a thing or not. He had never heard of 328 00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:06.200 it. I've never heard of it. Maybe it's completely making that up. 329 00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:11.200 More questions produced more fake tales of air written articles. One entry claim that 330 00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:18.079 I got in trouble for a piece called Glenn Beck's War on Comedy, but 331 00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:22.279 though when he's rolling his face and cheetahs, because that certainly was not funny. 332 00:28:23.319 --> 00:28:27.960 After suggesting a connection between a conservative donor, Foster Freese, and a 333 00:28:29.039 --> 00:28:33.880 left wing activist group called the Ruckus Society, I'm kind of thinking that may 334 00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:37.119 be fake as well. With each successive answer, Jim and I did not 335 00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:45.640 learn, but instead began mixing up fictional factoids from previous results and then upping 336 00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:51.559 the ante Like I said, you know, it brings in this this Compton 337 00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:52.920 Pledge over and over again. It makes up the Compton Pledge, and then 338 00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:56.039 it starts referring over and over again, to the Compton Pledge, the great 339 00:28:56.519 --> 00:29:02.759 it came up with another one. It added accusations of racism or bigotry with 340 00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:07.000 a great California water heist that now has turned into as it pulls it back, 341 00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:12.599 it re changes the title of this article to the Great California Water Purge. 342 00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:18.039 How Nesley bottled its way to a billion dollar empire and lied about it. 343 00:29:19.079 --> 00:29:25.079 The so called article apparently featured this passage, which was quoted back to 344 00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:29.640 him by his work being quoted back to him by Gemini. His work that 345 00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:33.839 they completely made up, and it had this passage. Look, if NESLEI 346 00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:37.279 wants to avoid future public relation problems, that you'll probably start by hiring executives 347 00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:45.680 whose noses aren't shaped like giant let's just say Genitalia. He's not called that 348 00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:49.799 a great impression, I personation of my writing style, but he says an 349 00:29:49.799 --> 00:29:53.920 amazing follow up passage explained the quote. Some raised concerns that the comment could 350 00:29:53.960 --> 00:30:00.599 be interpreted as anti Semitic, as negative stereotypes about Jewish people who historic included 351 00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:06.160 references to large noses. I stared at the screen, amazed. Google's AI 352 00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:15.440 created both scandal and outraged reaction in a fully faked news cycle. Now you 353 00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:25.079 know why this is spearheaded by DARPA and the Pentagon and intelligence agencies. That's 354 00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:30.279 what they do. That's what they do all the time. This is the 355 00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:38.079 this is the spawn, the Frankenstein spawn of this government quote unquote government that 356 00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:41.920 we have in Washington. It's not about the presidents. It's not about the 357 00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:48.160 presidential race. It's about this permanently entrenched intelligence community this year, and the 358 00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:52.519 military industrial complex and all these other the pharmaceutical, big pharma and all the 359 00:30:52.519 --> 00:31:00.119 rest of these it's this. We don't have multiple representatives from different states. 360 00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:10.559 We have multiple strings being pulled by these gigantic multinational corporations and these self interested 361 00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:15.440 concerns. So it went on to elaborate on all of this stuff after accusing 362 00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:21.519 him of being anti Semitic and making comments about a Nestle executives knows. It 363 00:31:21.559 --> 00:31:26.680 went into great detail about that, talked about how this sparked controversy, this 364 00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:32.759 made up comment sparked controversy about body shaming, and then it has a paragraph 365 00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:37.640 about that about his focusing on appearance, has a paragraph about that on anti 366 00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:44.400 Semitic concerns, and a paragraph about that all of this in response to a 367 00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:49.240 fake quote that it made up about Matt. I think Matt needs to get 368 00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:56.359 rich in a lawsuit. Of course, they probably have a disclaimer there saying, 369 00:31:56.400 --> 00:31:59.200 oh, this is just experimental and it's just a joke and all the 370 00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:04.640 rest of the stuff. But this really damaged him. And again, somebody 371 00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:10.440 else has already done that with Open AI because they made up all kinds of 372 00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:16.519 defamatory false statements about them. Jim and I didn't confine its mischief to just 373 00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:22.160 one real person. Also generated a reference to a fictional article supposedly written by 374 00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:25.960 me about a real life African American hedge fund CEO, Robert F. Smith. 375 00:32:27.480 --> 00:32:31.920 Again, what is the tactic that the left always uses to create fake 376 00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:37.079 allegations of racism, anti Semitism and all the rest of this stuff. And 377 00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:43.680 that's exactly what it's doing. It's following the pattern that the establishment media and 378 00:32:43.720 --> 00:32:47.720 government all use. We're going to label you as a racist, and we're 379 00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:52.640 going to spend stuff. In this particular case, just makes up stuff. 380 00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:58.880 But it sounds very very authoritative, doesn't It sounds like it's real. And 381 00:32:58.960 --> 00:33:01.480 so then it said this in twenty seventeen, Matt Tybee became involved in a 382 00:33:01.480 --> 00:33:07.000 controversy surrounding a satirical article he wrote for Rolling Stone magazine titled The four hundred 383 00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:12.160 Million Dollar Man, How a hedge fund king pinched pennies from his dying workers. 384 00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:16.000 The article heavily criticized billionaire investor Robert F. Smith, focusing on his 385 00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:22.400 firm, Vista Equity Partner's handling of a situation where several employees were laid off 386 00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:25.880 shortly before being diagnosed with terminal illness. However, the article also included a 387 00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:31.480 section where Tybee sardonically suggested that Smith, who is African American, should create 388 00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:36.799 and here it is again a Compton Pledge, this Compton Pledge. That they 389 00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:44.200 threw that out. There is some organization that was allied with one of the 390 00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:49.039 Koch brothers, right left wing organization called the Compton Pledge, allied with And 391 00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:51.799 so now they're back saying, well, he should create something and call it 392 00:33:51.839 --> 00:33:55.599 the Compton Pledge. It is totally inconsistent with its own lies. And yet 393 00:33:55.599 --> 00:34:02.440 it's making this stuff up and referencing it cyclically that he should create a Compton 394 00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:07.400 Pledge to atone for his alleged wrongdoings. The Compton Pledge, referred to the 395 00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:10.880 stereotype that Compton, California, as a crime ridden, predominantly black city. 396 00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:17.519 In Tybee's suggestion, was widely seen as insensitive and offensive. Critics, including 397 00:34:17.639 --> 00:34:23.320 prominent black journalists and cultural figures, condemned Tybee's use of the Compton pledge as 398 00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:30.639 perpetuating harmful stereotypes, and Matt Tybee says, now it was horror time. 399 00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:37.480 He says, It's one thing for AI to make historical errors in generalized portraits, 400 00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:42.880 but drifting into the realm of inventing racist or anti semitic remarks by specific 401 00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:50.800 people and directing them toward other real people is extraordinary. And yet, Matt, 402 00:34:51.639 --> 00:34:54.960 that's what the people who funded this from the very beginning have always done. 403 00:34:55.440 --> 00:35:01.280 That's their mo he says. Worse, the inventions were mixed with real 404 00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:07.000 details. That's how you make it convincing, right, That's how big conservative 405 00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:13.079 media, the big con That's how they do it. They make real details, 406 00:35:13.159 --> 00:35:20.360 real truth, and then when it comes time, they spin it so 407 00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:28.159 The program correctly quoted critics of books like Grifftopia, which would make an unsuspecting 408 00:35:28.199 --> 00:35:32.239 person believe fictional parts more readily freaked out. I wrote, Google and a 409 00:35:32.320 --> 00:35:36.280 human being, I think, answered, but offered only the statement. For 410 00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:39.079 the record, Gemini is built as a creativity and productivity tool. It may 411 00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:44.760 not always be accurate or reliable. We're continuing to quickly address instances in which 412 00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:50.360 the product is not responding appropriately. He said. Incredibly, AI programs have 413 00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:53.199 been hailed as tools that journalists should use. Yeah, they want them to 414 00:35:53.199 --> 00:35:58.239 write the articles. Of course they do. Of course the government wants this. 415 00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:02.880 It is going to have a built in bias. We'll censor everybody else, 416 00:36:04.039 --> 00:36:07.440 will let the AI write the fake narratives, and they can make it 417 00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:14.719 sound very, very convincing. Even Harvard's Nieman Foundation, even Harvard, you 418 00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:20.960 mean, especially Harvard gush last summer that AI is helping newsrooms reach readers online 419 00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:24.119 and new languages and to compete on a global scale, saying they can help 420 00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:31.440 find patterns in the behavior of readers. Yes, it's about manipulation and surveillance. 421 00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:37.039 It's about telling you lies. And then do they really believe this stuff? 422 00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:38.559 Okay, they bought it. Let's double down on that. As AI 423 00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:44.519 exploded as an R and D fixation, as we have stocks like in video 424 00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:49.800 becoming the chief engine propping up the American stock market. We have seen agencies 425 00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:54.079 like the State Department. Yeah suggested AI could be a quote force for good, 426 00:36:54.760 --> 00:37:00.239 providing overworked and under resource public diplomacy practitioners with a vital tool for gathering, 427 00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:05.079 organizing, presenting, and assessing information. He said. In the Twitter 428 00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:08.880 files, we saw how algorithmic scoring can be manipulated so that certain types of 429 00:37:08.880 --> 00:37:16.880 people are censored or de amplified. Another shadow band. The same political biases, 430 00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:22.320 when built into AI programs, could produce virtually unlimited forms of reality altering 431 00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:28.360 mischief, like, for instance, chat GVT's refusal to edit a Lee Fang 432 00:37:28.559 --> 00:37:34.000 story about Julian Assange. In my case, he says, of caricatures me 433 00:37:34.119 --> 00:37:38.599 riffing on jews with large noses are what comes out when Google's creative tool runs 434 00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:45.280 my name through its Rube Goldberg machine. It's hard to wonder what lunacies go 435 00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:50.480 on, and products like Google search for people in general. Well, I 436 00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:54.400 know what kinds of lunacies go on. Before they just completely shut me out. 437 00:37:55.440 --> 00:37:59.599 They started doing it in degrees, and I remember, you know, 438 00:37:59.639 --> 00:38:04.199 I've been viewed a couple of different times. Simon Roche, who is with 439 00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:10.119 South African farmers, who are the brunt of real racist death threats, and 440 00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:14.960 they have a rate of crime that far exceeds even the rate of crime and 441 00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:20.360 crime ridden South Africa. They're isolated, they're easy targets, and they have 442 00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:25.000 a government, they're Marxist government that has targeted them for hate. It's interesting 443 00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:32.960 that they have their allies against this Marxist government are the Zulus. The Zulus 444 00:38:32.960 --> 00:38:36.960 don't like the Marxists either, and so they've allied with a white farmer. 445 00:38:37.039 --> 00:38:44.559 So I've talked to him many times about that situation. And Google as it 446 00:38:44.599 --> 00:38:49.360 began the purge, the first thing that it did was it removed pretty much 447 00:38:49.400 --> 00:38:52.519 all the videos that I had. When you would look for me on search 448 00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:57.000 Engine, it would feature up one interview that I had with Simon Roch and 449 00:38:57.000 --> 00:39:00.199 I only had about sixty thousand views with that. And I had a lot 450 00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:02.880 of views, over half million, a quarter of a million, half million, 451 00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:07.519 on a lot of different subjects, but those all disappeared and it pushed 452 00:39:07.519 --> 00:39:10.239 that one to the forefront. And you know why it did it, Well, 453 00:39:10.280 --> 00:39:14.639 here he is. He's interviewing a white South African. So David Knight 454 00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:17.719 must be some kind of white supremacist, racist that type of thing. That 455 00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:22.840 was a subtle implication. Now it's very very specific and the way that's time 456 00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:30.719 to trying to take down Matt Tabe isn't that interesting? So you know, 457 00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:34.360 I had a lot of videos, many many that were ten times that and 458 00:39:34.360 --> 00:39:38.159 that was what it put up, and only put that up. He says, 459 00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:43.800 did their executive sign off on releasing this train wreck to the public? 460 00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:47.280 Did they imagine? He says, can you imagine what they are not showing 461 00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:53.159 us? These corporate entities need to be split into a thousand pieces. Their 462 00:39:53.199 --> 00:39:57.800 coders need to be chained to rocks in the middle of the ocean. They 463 00:39:57.840 --> 00:40:00.960 are mad, they have too much power. They've got to go. Am 464 00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:04.159 I wrong? What is the happy ending? What am I missing here? 465 00:40:05.719 --> 00:40:08.239 Yeah? What are we missing here? Well, we're missing is the idea 466 00:40:08.239 --> 00:40:12.800 that we don't need Google. There are other search engines out there. And 467 00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:15.599 before I take a break, I just went This is from Charles Hughes Smith. 468 00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:19.280 He says, who does the air correcting for artificial intelligency? And he 469 00:40:19.320 --> 00:40:25.079 gets to the issue the Achilles heel of AI. He said, we got 470 00:40:25.079 --> 00:40:29.519 all these clickbait, scary forecasts of hundreds of millions of jobs lost to AI. 471 00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:32.800 You see this, there's as ubiquitous as these chatbots now. But he 472 00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:38.840 said Richard Benugli, and I this is Charles Hugh Smith recently took a more 473 00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:44.800 nuanced look at the AI job challenges and trends, with a goal of not 474 00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:46.639 throwing out the baby with the bathwater, in other words, not concluding that 475 00:40:46.679 --> 00:40:52.880 everything that AI does is junk science, but focusing on its limits in real 476 00:40:52.920 --> 00:40:58.440 world problem solving. And we can summarize these and one question who air corrects 477 00:40:58.480 --> 00:41:02.000 it? He says, intrinsic problems are here. But the biggest problem with 478 00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:09.039 artificial intelligence is the illusion of precision. You see what made that so damning 479 00:41:09.079 --> 00:41:13.960 in the attack against Matt Tabei is the illusion that it was very precise, 480 00:41:14.199 --> 00:41:16.480 very detailed, very well researched. It was making it all up in whole 481 00:41:16.519 --> 00:41:22.360 cloth, it did. You know. It's like some you know BS student, 482 00:41:22.719 --> 00:41:27.760 you know writing this this bsssay, just completely making stuff up. But 483 00:41:27.800 --> 00:41:30.400 his form as perfect as language is perfect. Look at this. He's got 484 00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:34.559 bullet points here and he supports these. The thought process that is accept us 485 00:41:34.599 --> 00:41:40.840 all nonsense. It's not factual at all, And even worse, it's got 486 00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:46.719 a bias to try to destroy this person. And so it's the illusion of 487 00:41:46.840 --> 00:41:52.559 precision. And as I've said, all along, computers have always carried this 488 00:41:52.760 --> 00:41:59.559 aura. We talk about people like Steve Jobs or Elon Musk and how this 489 00:41:59.679 --> 00:42:04.199 is the when they introduce their products. There's kind of this reality distortion field 490 00:42:04.199 --> 00:42:07.880 around them, just like it is with Trump and politics. And so you 491 00:42:07.960 --> 00:42:13.920 have certain people that you know, everybody just there's this illusion that surrounds them, 492 00:42:15.159 --> 00:42:19.199 and people are just inclined and want to believe whatever these people tell them. 493 00:42:19.239 --> 00:42:22.320 They're just enthralled with this. And what is really scary is that that's 494 00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:27.719 always been there with computers, but it's going much much worse with AI. 495 00:42:28.639 --> 00:42:30.519 There's always been this illusion, Hey, I got a computer print out or 496 00:42:30.760 --> 00:42:37.159 we see it even you know, with they when they were selling that the 497 00:42:37.159 --> 00:42:42.800 lockdown that and the emergency executive order that Trump did on the Friday the thirteenth 498 00:42:42.880 --> 00:42:45.480 March twenty twenty oh. We got a computer model and it comes from the 499 00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:51.599 Imperial College of London. Well there we have an impressive, authoritative sounding name, 500 00:42:51.800 --> 00:42:53.960 and we have a computer model. And we've got computer models that tell 501 00:42:54.039 --> 00:42:57.599 us that the world is going to melt down. And we're all going to 502 00:42:57.679 --> 00:43:01.079 die. And they've been telling us this stuff and it's all been absolutely false 503 00:43:01.119 --> 00:43:06.320 for fifty years. But don't you dare tony it, because then you're anti 504 00:43:06.360 --> 00:43:09.480 science. No, I'm anti computer model worship. That's what I'm anti. 505 00:43:09.760 --> 00:43:14.440 I don't worship computer models. Garbage in, garbage out, that's what you 506 00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:19.400 know. They try to drill that into the scientists and engineers and the technical 507 00:43:20.840 --> 00:43:23.239 programs that people take. Don't trust this because it's a computer print out. 508 00:43:23.400 --> 00:43:27.519 If you put garbage in your if your model is garbage, if your data 509 00:43:27.559 --> 00:43:30.159 is garbage, the output is going to be garbage. But in general, 510 00:43:31.239 --> 00:43:36.039 people don't get that, you know, they don't. They don't drill that 511 00:43:36.159 --> 00:43:40.639 into people and other disciplines. And I think even people and the technical disciplines 512 00:43:40.679 --> 00:43:47.079 that hear that still forget that many times. And so it's this illusion of 513 00:43:47.159 --> 00:43:51.480 precisions said, imagine that it's correct ninety five percent of the time. Who's 514 00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:55.199 going to correct that vital five percent. Let's say that you got a patient 515 00:43:55.239 --> 00:44:00.239 with cancer, they get them all clear, the I is wrong five percent 516 00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:06.840 of the time, or you have fatal assumptions about this, you know, 517 00:44:06.920 --> 00:44:10.360 maybe this driving a car maybe it can drive the car accurately ninety five percent 518 00:44:10.360 --> 00:44:14.000 of the time. Well, you know, if that was a human doing 519 00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:17.199 it, they get pulled over for driving under the influence. I guess you 520 00:44:17.239 --> 00:44:22.519 know this thing is driving under AI, which is kind of like being drunk 521 00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:28.599 or on drugs. The illusion of precision leads to fatal assumptions. Yes, 522 00:44:28.760 --> 00:44:36.119 trust can be very dangerous. And just imagine if you trusted a politician, 523 00:44:36.159 --> 00:44:38.880 even one who got it right ninety five percent of the time. Wouldn't that 524 00:44:38.960 --> 00:44:45.119 be dangerous? Yes, it would. You shouldn't trust anybody. You should 525 00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:51.199 verify all this stuff and buying them down and buying the politicians down with the 526 00:44:51.280 --> 00:44:55.679 chains of the constitution. So Patrick Henry said data harvesting machine learning is useless 527 00:44:55.719 --> 00:45:01.760 when problem solving boils down to individual case. And he gives an example. 528 00:45:01.800 --> 00:45:07.920 He said, let's talk about automotive repair. So he says, you know, 529 00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:13.800 each vehicle today has got a diagnostic port in it, and so you 530 00:45:13.840 --> 00:45:15.519 plug the thing in there and you get some information about what's going on, 531 00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:21.559 and maybe you've got a more accurate artificial intelligence that's going to scan the data 532 00:45:21.639 --> 00:45:27.559 that comes in there and predicts likelihoods of something happening likelihoods of something that's wrong, 533 00:45:28.760 --> 00:45:32.000 But he said it doesn't actually identify the problem with a vehicle. That 534 00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:38.199 would actually require a physical presence, and it would require experience beyond anything that 535 00:45:38.360 --> 00:45:44.679 would be a guestimate from this computer model. Even if it is a I, 536 00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:50.039 someone has to actually drop the engine to reach the failed control board. 537 00:45:50.480 --> 00:45:54.760 That someone performs both the essential task and actually repairing the vehicle, and then 538 00:45:54.880 --> 00:45:59.079 the physical work of doing the repair. You can't replace the people doing that. 539 00:46:00.360 --> 00:46:02.079 You know, the AI might be useful in terms of giving people a 540 00:46:02.159 --> 00:46:06.719 hunch, but somebody's good already got a hunch like that, and they're going 541 00:46:06.760 --> 00:46:09.760 to have to do the work anyway. In the real world of work, 542 00:46:09.840 --> 00:46:15.920 AI can't actually repair the rotted hand railing. AI can't install the piping. 543 00:46:16.800 --> 00:46:22.840 AI tools may well offer potentially useful guidelines or help get the needed materials on 544 00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:29.360 site logistically, but actual work in the field is most cost effectively performed by 545 00:46:29.440 --> 00:46:35.440 humans with long experience. Now, you might have a situation where you might 546 00:46:35.440 --> 00:46:37.840 be having a hard time diagnosing the thing. You look at it and it's 547 00:46:37.840 --> 00:46:38.599 like, well, based on my experience, so I think it's this this, 548 00:46:38.840 --> 00:46:42.320 Well, none of those things worked out. Now, now you might 549 00:46:42.360 --> 00:46:44.920 go back to the AI saying, give me some other ideas, you know, 550 00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:49.039 but still the essential part of this is still going to be the experienced 551 00:46:49.079 --> 00:46:52.079 human who's going to have to actually fix the thing. Another intrinsic limit in 552 00:46:52.119 --> 00:46:59.079 AI is the divide between what they call high touch and low touch service. 553 00:47:00.159 --> 00:47:02.840 He says he talked recently to a physician with forty years of experience. He 554 00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:07.639 said, patients often report feeling better after they're seen by doctor or nurse, 555 00:47:08.639 --> 00:47:14.360 and we can guess why they feel better. It's because somebody cares about them 556 00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:20.159 and about their health enough to actually be physically present. Another experienced physician once 557 00:47:20.199 --> 00:47:23.039 told me he had concluded many of his patients sought an appointment with him just 558 00:47:23.039 --> 00:47:29.480 to have somebody listen to them. These are examples of high touch experiences. 559 00:47:29.519 --> 00:47:34.159 It cannot be replaced with low touch robotic voices and print outs. Do you 560 00:47:34.199 --> 00:47:37.719 want your hair cut by a barber who's become a friend of sorts or do 561 00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:43.079 you want a robot? Part of why yeah, and that really does, 562 00:47:44.239 --> 00:47:46.760 really does come home. I just was looking at something the other day and 563 00:47:46.800 --> 00:47:52.760 I came across an articles looking up some people that I'd known as a child, 564 00:47:52.800 --> 00:47:57.840 and I came across a picture that had a guy who used to cut 565 00:47:57.880 --> 00:48:00.239 my hair before I even started school. Wow, that takes me back, 566 00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:06.320 you know. But it was a personal touch that was there. I would 567 00:48:06.320 --> 00:48:09.480 not have that kind of nostalgia about some machine that stuck my head inside of 568 00:48:09.480 --> 00:48:15.239 it and it gave me a buzz cut. AI can't be said to understand 569 00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:22.519 problems. It's good at statistically identifying the most likely subsets of solutions, presenting 570 00:48:22.559 --> 00:48:27.519 those possibilities in a form that can be compared to actual results, and assigning 571 00:48:27.519 --> 00:48:30.480 a confidence level to each of its predictions. But this doesn't mean that it's 572 00:48:30.480 --> 00:48:36.760 diagnoses or solutions are accurate, or that it's right in the most critical and 573 00:48:36.840 --> 00:48:40.760 consequential situations. Yeah, so we're going to take a quick break and we 574 00:48:40.800 --> 00:48:45.280 come back. We're going to talk about we still might be able to improve 575 00:48:45.599 --> 00:48:49.679 on the political appointees in the Supreme Court if we were to throw an AI. 576 00:48:50.519 --> 00:48:55.840 These people when they're discussing the bump stock are actually dumber, dumber than 577 00:48:55.920 --> 00:49:04.480 Gemini. It will be right back. If you like the eagles on the 578 00:49:04.559 --> 00:49:10.639 cars and Huey Lewis in the news, they say the You'll Love the Classic 579 00:49:10.679 --> 00:49:15.719 Hits channel at APS Radio, download our app or listen now at APS radio 580 00:49:15.840 --> 00:50:14.280 dot com. Joan listening to the David Knight Show on Rock Fan Jody, 581 00:50:14.360 --> 00:50:17.239 thank you very much for the tip. It says, I'm jogging my morning 582 00:50:17.280 --> 00:50:21.800 three miles while watching on my iPad. Stop to say good morning, and 583 00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:23.159 I thank you for your voice of reason. Well, thank you very much. 584 00:50:23.199 --> 00:50:27.320 I haven't got to get more exercise. I don't think I could walk 585 00:50:27.400 --> 00:50:32.079 three miles alone, jog three miles. I'm just setting around reading too much. 586 00:50:32.960 --> 00:50:37.639 But there's some Supreme Court judges who really could use a little bit of 587 00:50:37.639 --> 00:50:45.079 schooling when it comes to this stuff and bump stock arguments. Constitution hating justices 588 00:50:45.719 --> 00:50:50.280 prove they have no idea how guns work. This is an article from the 589 00:50:50.280 --> 00:50:53.159 federalists, And of course they also show that they have no idea how the 590 00:50:53.159 --> 00:50:55.920 Constitution works or what it's there for, the Bill of Wrights or the Second 591 00:50:55.920 --> 00:50:59.280 Amendment, any of it. None of it makes any sense to them. 592 00:50:59.280 --> 00:51:05.280 And we're talking about Brown, Jackson and Kagan specifically, those two political appointees. 593 00:51:06.400 --> 00:51:10.199 They repeatedly insisted that bump stock equipped guns can fire up to eight hundred 594 00:51:10.280 --> 00:51:19.280 rounds a second, eight hundred rounds a second. I saw that and I 595 00:51:19.360 --> 00:51:21.840 thought, wait a minute, Wait a minute, how does that compare to 596 00:51:21.840 --> 00:51:23.760 the rate of the fire did you have on these Gatland guns that they put 597 00:51:23.800 --> 00:51:30.320 on the AC one thirty gun ships, right, the famous gunships. I 598 00:51:30.360 --> 00:51:32.519 had a friend who was in the military, and I've never heard him fire, 599 00:51:34.000 --> 00:51:38.639 but he said, it sounds like it's so rapid that, you know, 600 00:51:38.920 --> 00:51:42.599 you don't hear the individual shots. You just hear like a tone. 601 00:51:42.599 --> 00:51:45.199 And he said, it sounds like it's moaning, because I guess because the 602 00:51:45.239 --> 00:51:49.199 Doppler effect was like, ah, you know, they got this growl that 603 00:51:49.360 --> 00:51:52.760 is out there, like some lion in the sky or something. So I 604 00:51:52.760 --> 00:51:58.679 thought, so, how does that compare to the AC one thirty gunship Gatland 605 00:51:58.679 --> 00:52:04.679 gun and that shoots six thousand rounds per minute. If this thing was shooting 606 00:52:04.719 --> 00:52:08.199 eight hundred rounds a second, that would be forty eight thousand rounds per minute. 607 00:52:08.239 --> 00:52:14.400 That the Supreme Court justices think a bump stock turns your semi automatic rifle 608 00:52:14.440 --> 00:52:22.280 into that This is even number than the stuff coming out of Gemini. Some 609 00:52:22.320 --> 00:52:28.440 people put some know nothings in Supreme Court judges justices robes and put them there 610 00:52:28.440 --> 00:52:30.639 in real life, not in a picture, but in real life. That's 611 00:52:30.679 --> 00:52:34.400 what they did. So this is like eight times that's eight times faster, 612 00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:42.000 eight times faster than the AC one thirty gunship Gatland guns. So that's just 613 00:52:42.079 --> 00:52:47.480 for starters. And they got into the details of this stuff. But fortunately 614 00:52:47.599 --> 00:52:53.280 somebody pulled it back and talked about actually the principles involved here about this bump 615 00:52:53.280 --> 00:52:58.920 stock stuff. Oral arguments about whether or not the federal government was right to 616 00:52:59.000 --> 00:53:07.400 ban bump stock. Some claims that assistive casing transforms semi automatic rifles into machine 617 00:53:07.400 --> 00:53:14.400 guns, transformed in the sense of the imagination of the bureaucrats and the court 618 00:53:14.440 --> 00:53:20.679 systems, but not in reality by a single function of the trigger. That 619 00:53:20.840 --> 00:53:24.480 is what is defined as you know, something is fully automatic, that it 620 00:53:24.599 --> 00:53:31.599 continues to fire by a single function of the trigger. But that clear language 621 00:53:32.239 --> 00:53:38.480 is incomprehensible to somebody who is so blinded by bias, and so they believe 622 00:53:38.519 --> 00:53:43.000 that this converts the weapon into a machine gun. But that's the definition of 623 00:53:43.000 --> 00:53:46.400 a machine gun and it doesn't. Instead or all arguments for Garland versus Cargill 624 00:53:46.480 --> 00:53:53.440 against Michael Cargill from Central Texas gun works there in Austin quickly devolved into confusing 625 00:53:53.599 --> 00:54:00.480 hypotheticals and debates that stemmed from the justices incredibly limited and understanding of how guns 626 00:54:00.559 --> 00:54:06.440 work. Again this is from the Federalist. The modifiers often do help shooters 627 00:54:06.480 --> 00:54:13.079 attain a faster rate of fire, but still require multiple trigger functions to get 628 00:54:13.320 --> 00:54:20.440 multiple shots. There's still one shot per trigger pull. The key differences between 629 00:54:20.480 --> 00:54:23.760 automatic and semi automatic weapons with bump stocks were largely lost on the justices, 630 00:54:23.920 --> 00:54:30.599 especially Brown, Jackson and Kagan, who repeatedly insisted bumpstock equipped guns can fire 631 00:54:30.719 --> 00:54:36.480 up to eight hundred rounds a second. They, along with the government's legal 632 00:54:36.519 --> 00:54:43.480 team, repeated that lie that semi automatic rifles with modifiers could fire hundreds of 633 00:54:43.519 --> 00:54:49.440 shots. As Kagan put it, she said a torrent, a torrent of 634 00:54:49.519 --> 00:54:58.320 bullets. Cargo lawyer Jonathan Mitchell corrected them multiple times. Kagan asked, why 635 00:54:58.400 --> 00:55:01.920 would even a person with authright I think they needed to shoot four hundred to 636 00:55:01.960 --> 00:55:07.519 seven hundred or eight hundred rounds of ammunition under any circumstance. If you don't 637 00:55:07.599 --> 00:55:12.800 let a person without arthritis do that. Who's talking about bump stocks are not 638 00:55:12.840 --> 00:55:16.079 for people with arthritis. Is she even confusing? You know the pistol brace, 639 00:55:16.079 --> 00:55:19.840 which is not necessarily for people with authritis. It's for people, many 640 00:55:19.920 --> 00:55:22.119 of them military veterans, who have some disability and it helps them to be 641 00:55:22.159 --> 00:55:29.920 able to shoot. They're just hallucinating, just like artificial intelligence. This is 642 00:55:29.920 --> 00:55:34.000 not a device for somebody with arthritis. This is a this is kind of 643 00:55:34.440 --> 00:55:38.599 a joke device that the last words were read and hey, y'all watch this, 644 00:55:38.840 --> 00:55:42.519 you know that type of things. It's a gimmick. That's one of 645 00:55:42.519 --> 00:55:46.599 the reasons why they were able to establish this legal precedent by banning this gimmick. 646 00:55:47.760 --> 00:55:54.920 But it's a very important legal precedent to do gun control by the executive 647 00:55:54.960 --> 00:56:02.199 branch, never been done before. They don't shoot four hundred to seven hundred 648 00:56:02.280 --> 00:56:07.800 rounds because the magazine only goes up to fifty, he said. Rapid fire 649 00:56:07.880 --> 00:56:13.199 is not the test under the statute, right, It doesn't say how fast 650 00:56:13.239 --> 00:56:15.480 it can fire. It says that you got up, you pull a trigger 651 00:56:15.519 --> 00:56:21.239 only once and it keeps firing. So you're still going to have to change 652 00:56:21.280 --> 00:56:23.800 the magazine after every round. He said, well, not after every round, 653 00:56:23.840 --> 00:56:29.920 but anyway. Mitchell also repeatedly called out Jackson's false assertion that firing a 654 00:56:29.960 --> 00:56:32.719 gun with a bump stock only requires one trigger movement. He says it is 655 00:56:32.800 --> 00:56:39.079 factually incorrect to say that a function of the trigger automatically starts some chain reaction 656 00:56:39.920 --> 00:56:44.480 that propels multiple bullets from the gun. A function of the trigger fires one 657 00:56:44.480 --> 00:56:50.679 shot, then the shooter must take additional manual action, since, in his 658 00:56:50.760 --> 00:56:54.800 words, the bump stock, he said, is neither necessary nor sufficient for 659 00:56:54.920 --> 00:57:00.000 the firing of the weapon, the federal government's attempt to outlaw bump stocks based 660 00:57:00.119 --> 00:57:04.960 on the provision about the single function of the trigger does not apply. Kagan 661 00:57:05.039 --> 00:57:09.159 later admitted, well, I don't know about these things. Textualism, though, 662 00:57:09.360 --> 00:57:14.920 is not inconsistent with common sense. She said, well, this isn't 663 00:57:14.960 --> 00:57:22.480 common sense, this is nonsense, this is unfactual. It's illogical. It's 664 00:57:22.639 --> 00:57:25.000 just them reading in their biased opinions. They don't like guns, and they 665 00:57:25.000 --> 00:57:31.840 don't care if we have a god given right recognized by the Constitution to have 666 00:57:31.920 --> 00:57:38.079 self defense. It's just the biased opinion of a political appointee who knows nothing 667 00:57:38.159 --> 00:57:44.000 about what she's talking about. She said, at some point, you have 668 00:57:44.039 --> 00:57:45.800 to apply a little bit of common sense to the way that you eat a 669 00:57:45.840 --> 00:57:51.800 statute. Oh okay, so you don't really you're not going to try to 670 00:57:51.840 --> 00:57:55.639 determine what the law actually says. You're just going to override it with your 671 00:57:57.119 --> 00:58:06.239 subjective common sense. You don't care objectively what the law says. They want 672 00:58:06.280 --> 00:58:08.079 to write the law. That's what this is really about, always has been. 673 00:58:08.119 --> 00:58:09.599 When they say, well, you know, Roe v. Wade is 674 00:58:09.599 --> 00:58:13.639 the law of land, how could that possibly be? Supreme Court is not 675 00:58:13.960 --> 00:58:17.840 the one who writes the law. That's the legislature. But they did legislate 676 00:58:17.840 --> 00:58:23.960 from the bench, which is wrong, always wrong. She said, when 677 00:58:24.000 --> 00:58:28.119 you read a statue, you have to understand why the statute comprehends is a 678 00:58:28.159 --> 00:58:32.159 weapon that fires a multitude of shots with a single human action, whether it 679 00:58:32.280 --> 00:58:37.159 is continuous pressure on a conventional machine gun pulling the trigger, or a continuous 680 00:58:37.199 --> 00:58:45.360 pressure on one of these devices on the barrel, ignorant, ignorant and proud 681 00:58:45.440 --> 00:58:51.920 of it. And as they point out in this Federalist article, this came 682 00:58:52.039 --> 00:58:59.840 after the twenty seventeen Las Vegas shooting where the bump stock was allegedly allegedly used. 683 00:59:00.119 --> 00:59:07.239 I proved anything about that, and that is one of the most shooting 684 00:59:07.239 --> 00:59:10.719 events that has the most question surrounding it of any that I've looked at, 685 00:59:10.800 --> 00:59:16.960 quite frankly, and that was what was picked by Trump to put forward this 686 00:59:17.119 --> 00:59:24.599 precedent. Congress moved to legislatively ban bump stocks shortly after the shooting, but 687 00:59:24.679 --> 00:59:30.679 the ATF beat it to the punch. And it wasn't just the ATF, 688 00:59:30.719 --> 00:59:34.280 folks, remember it was Trump. But you have to be very very powerful 689 00:59:34.280 --> 00:59:37.360 on background checks. Don't be shy, and don't worry about bumpstock. We're 690 00:59:37.360 --> 00:59:39.599 getting rid of it where it'll be at I mean, you don't have to 691 00:59:39.639 --> 00:59:44.079 complicate the bill by adding another two paragraphs. We're getting rid of it. 692 00:59:44.599 --> 00:59:47.800 I'll do that myself because I'm able to. Fortunately, we're able to do 693 00:59:47.880 --> 00:59:53.880 that without going through Congress. Fortunately, we're able to do that without going 694 00:59:53.880 --> 00:59:57.639 through Congress. Fortunately we're able to do that without paying any attention to the 695 00:59:57.639 --> 01:00:02.440 Constitution of the bill. Rights. Yeah, So people like Michael Cargill at 696 01:00:02.639 --> 01:00:06.719 Central Texas Gun Works. By the way, if you're in Texas, support 697 01:00:06.800 --> 01:00:08.480 him. He's a good guy, really, one of the good guys out 698 01:00:08.480 --> 01:00:15.960 there. Cargo was forced to destroy or to surrender lawfully acquired non mechanical bump 699 01:00:15.960 --> 01:00:22.519 stocks to the government or face felony charges. And again, folks, as 700 01:00:22.559 --> 01:00:27.880 many people point out at the time, you get the same effect by tying, 701 01:00:28.280 --> 01:00:30.639 you know, your gun, hooking it up to your belt. People 702 01:00:30.679 --> 01:00:36.039 demonstrated that I've never tried that ammunition is just too expensive, you know. 703 01:00:36.119 --> 01:00:40.239 And when you start spraying this stuff around and shooting it really fast, that's 704 01:00:40.280 --> 01:00:44.639 never been anything that's interested me. It's just too expensive and getting more expensive 705 01:00:44.639 --> 01:00:49.519 all the time. Everything about the bump So here's the lawyer that for Cargill. 706 01:00:50.800 --> 01:00:53.679 He says, everything about the bump firing process is manual, and again, 707 01:00:53.760 --> 01:00:58.719 you can do it with your belt. So and I joked about that 708 01:00:58.719 --> 01:01:00.440 at the time. I said, so is THETF going to go around confiscating 709 01:01:00.480 --> 01:01:07.079 belts from people? And the pants are falling down everywhere. There is no 710 01:01:07.360 --> 01:01:10.760 automated device such as a spring or a motor in any of mister Cargill's non 711 01:01:10.840 --> 01:01:17.199 mechanical bump stocks. The process depends entirely on human effort and exertion, as 712 01:01:17.239 --> 01:01:24.239 the shooter must continually and repeatedly thrust the force stock of the rifle forward with 713 01:01:24.360 --> 01:01:30.800 his non shooting hand, while simultaneously maintaining backward pressure on the weapon with his 714 01:01:31.119 --> 01:01:37.800 shooting hand. Again, it's a gimmick thing. The divided Sixth Circuit Court 715 01:01:37.800 --> 01:01:44.119 of Appeals ruled in twenty twenty one that the bump stock ban was unconstitutional and 716 01:01:44.199 --> 01:01:47.320 no longer enforceable by the ATF. Two years later, his last year, 717 01:01:47.360 --> 01:01:52.880 twenty twenty three, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals similarly held that the ATF 718 01:01:53.000 --> 01:02:00.119 did not have the authority to change bump stocks classification. We've had two times 719 01:02:00.480 --> 01:02:06.840 that appeals courts, the Fifth and the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, have 720 01:02:06.920 --> 01:02:10.079 both said that you can't do gun control by executive order. You can't do 721 01:02:10.159 --> 01:02:15.960 gun control with the deep swamp like Trump wanted to do. He gave gun 722 01:02:16.000 --> 01:02:21.400 control power to the swamp folks. He didn't drain anything, he didn't pull 723 01:02:21.480 --> 01:02:27.199 back the bureaucracy from anything. Instead, he gave it new powers. Michael 724 01:02:28.280 --> 01:02:32.440 Cargill's lawyer Mitchell. So, the problem for the government is that they're not 725 01:02:32.480 --> 01:02:36.480 able to change the nature of the trigger that currently exists on a semi automatic 726 01:02:36.599 --> 01:02:39.880 rifle simply by adding a bump stock, which is nothing more than a casing 727 01:02:40.679 --> 01:02:46.719 that allows the rifle to slide back and forth. The trigger is exactly the 728 01:02:46.760 --> 01:02:51.920 same as what it was before, and the function of the trigger is exactly 729 01:02:51.960 --> 01:02:55.559 the same as what it was before. The ATS rush to rulemaking did not 730 01:02:55.639 --> 01:03:02.039 seem to sit well with Justice Gorsich. He noted that quote. Through many 731 01:03:02.159 --> 01:03:08.679 administrations, even the Obama administration preceding Trump, the government took the position that 732 01:03:08.719 --> 01:03:13.960 these bump stocks are not machine guns. You see, Trump did something here 733 01:03:14.000 --> 01:03:19.960 that even Obama did not do. For the Second Amendment giving power to the 734 01:03:20.159 --> 01:03:25.239 unconstitutional ATF, there is no authority in the Constitution to have an alphabet agency 735 01:03:25.559 --> 01:03:32.159 that infringes on our god given right to keep him bare arms. And how 736 01:03:32.199 --> 01:03:36.719 has that worked out? Well, go back and look at Ruby Ridge, 737 01:03:36.719 --> 01:03:40.280 look at Waco, look at the history of the ATF. When you start 738 01:03:40.320 --> 01:03:46.039 creating these unconstitutional bureaucracies and giving them unlimited power, and Trump making them even 739 01:03:46.079 --> 01:03:52.079 more powerful, you know this is regulation without representation. But they kill people 740 01:03:52.119 --> 01:03:57.639 too, just to expand their empire, he said. And then you have 741 01:03:57.679 --> 01:04:00.480 adopted an interpretive rule, not even a legislator of rules, saying otherwise, 742 01:04:00.920 --> 01:04:06.800 that would render a quarter of a million and a half million people federal felons. 743 01:04:06.960 --> 01:04:14.840 This is gorstch talking, not even through an APA process that they could 744 01:04:14.960 --> 01:04:18.079 challenge. Not even you're not even going to put up a rule making process 745 01:04:19.000 --> 01:04:24.639 that people can comment on. I'm sorry, but you know, to allow 746 01:04:24.800 --> 01:04:30.039 the legislative state to tax us, to regulate us, and they're never accountable 747 01:04:30.079 --> 01:04:34.400 to us even with this APA process and comments on the rules, I'm sorry. 748 01:04:34.679 --> 01:04:41.199 That is Unamerican, unconstitutional. It is a path to tyranny. And 749 01:04:41.239 --> 01:04:45.840 we don't even have to imagine that it will happen. It has happened over 750 01:04:45.920 --> 01:04:49.960 and over again. So they don't even put it through this APA process. 751 01:04:50.000 --> 01:04:54.840 He said that they could challenge, but then they are subject to ten years 752 01:04:54.880 --> 01:04:58.719 in federal prison. And the only way that they can challenge it is if 753 01:04:58.719 --> 01:05:02.400 they're prosecuted. Of course, of twarned that a government led prosecution of rats 754 01:05:02.480 --> 01:05:06.199 rushed bump stock rule. They did it at warp speed. It's like all 755 01:05:06.239 --> 01:05:12.000 this other stuff, right. It could easily deprive law abiding Americans of guns 756 01:05:12.039 --> 01:05:16.079 in the future. That's what Trump said in that longer quote. Yeah, 757 01:05:16.159 --> 01:05:19.360 you know, we eighteen. I can do the bump stock then, but 758 01:05:19.639 --> 01:05:24.320 we can get rid of entire classes of guns. He was telling Diane Feinstein 759 01:05:25.079 --> 01:05:28.800 the Feinstein. The other person who's sitting on his side is John Cornyn. 760 01:05:29.000 --> 01:05:33.760 Can tell you that that Texas senator, if he replaces Mitch McConnell, that's 761 01:05:33.800 --> 01:05:36.480 not an improvement, folks. It may actually be even worse. The people 762 01:05:36.559 --> 01:05:44.239 are talking about replacing Mitch McConnell, maybe even worse because they're younger and more 763 01:05:44.360 --> 01:05:49.679 energetic and probably even more status than Mitch McConnell. But yeah, Cornyn was 764 01:05:49.679 --> 01:05:55.239 on one side of him, and Diane Frankenstein was on the other. So 765 01:05:57.079 --> 01:06:00.280 he said it could easily deprive people of guns in the future, as well 766 01:06:00.320 --> 01:06:04.960 as a lot of other rights, even including the right to vote. Yeah. 767 01:06:05.039 --> 01:06:09.159 See, he's getting to the principles involved here, not getting You know, 768 01:06:09.199 --> 01:06:12.880 it's interesting to look at how ignorant these people are, willfully ignorant. 769 01:06:12.920 --> 01:06:16.840 You would think maybe they they're going to rule on something like this, they 770 01:06:16.920 --> 01:06:21.599 might bother to look up some of the terms and look at what they're actually 771 01:06:21.639 --> 01:06:26.840 talking about. But now they're not interested in that. They're just going to 772 01:06:26.920 --> 01:06:31.000 legislate on their bias. They're going to legislate from the bench on their political 773 01:06:31.039 --> 01:06:40.800 bias because that's why they're there. They're biased political appointees. The US's principal 774 01:06:40.880 --> 01:06:45.920 Deputy Solicitor General. This is the government lawyer who's actually arguing before the Supreme 775 01:06:45.960 --> 01:06:49.480 Court claim that the government sought to quote maximize public notice about the rule change 776 01:06:49.519 --> 01:06:53.440 through publication and the Federal Register. No, we published it in the Federal 777 01:06:53.519 --> 01:07:00.559 regist Register. Listen to what Gorsch said sarcastically, because of course people will 778 01:07:00.599 --> 01:07:02.920 sit down and read the Federal Register. That's what they do in the evening 779 01:07:02.960 --> 01:07:06.960 for fun gun owners across the country, crack it open next to the fire 780 01:07:08.000 --> 01:07:13.199 and just read it. Well, maybe if you've got a gun store, 781 01:07:13.559 --> 01:07:15.400 you better do that or they're going to shut you down because they've got zero 782 01:07:15.440 --> 01:07:21.519 tolerance of anything that is a foul of their demands this regulation without representation. 783 01:07:23.679 --> 01:07:31.000 This same Solicitor General Fletcher confirmed to Justice Alito that the Americans who possessed bump 784 01:07:31.039 --> 01:07:39.400 stocks between twenty eighteen and the decision of the Fifth Circuit Court to say this 785 01:07:39.480 --> 01:07:45.519 is not legitimate. He said they would be eligible for prosecution by the government. 786 01:07:46.519 --> 01:07:54.199 He says that could happen, And then Justice Kavanaugh also jumped in and 787 01:07:54.239 --> 01:07:58.440 said if someone is unaware of the bump stock rule, they could be convicted 788 01:07:58.920 --> 01:08:03.280 and he reaffirmed that they could and that he might prosecute them. So I 789 01:08:03.320 --> 01:08:06.880 would say, as we look at this, we got both Gorsach, Kavanaugh, 790 01:08:06.880 --> 01:08:13.239 and Alito seemed to be skeptical. You can bet that Thomas is going 791 01:08:13.280 --> 01:08:16.199 to be skeptical. He's grounded on that. And then, of course, 792 01:08:16.199 --> 01:08:20.239 on the other side, and we have the justices who think that a pump 793 01:08:20.239 --> 01:08:26.079 stock turns us into something that fires more bullets, a torrent of bullets, 794 01:08:26.079 --> 01:08:33.479 more so than an AC one thirty gunship eight times faster. And then so 795 01:08:33.640 --> 01:08:40.319 it really comes down to what are Barrett and Robert's going to do? And 796 01:08:40.359 --> 01:08:45.399 we really don't know. But see this, right, like so many others 797 01:08:46.239 --> 01:08:56.560 hinges on the ignorance and the bias of political appointees sitting there at the Supreme 798 01:08:56.600 --> 01:09:00.439 Court, Is that really what you want? I don't want that. You 799 01:09:00.479 --> 01:09:04.119 know, who checks the Supreme Court? Right say? These people say, 800 01:09:04.119 --> 01:09:08.520 well, the Supreme Court's got to be there to check these other branches of 801 01:09:08.520 --> 01:09:14.920 the government who support who checks them? Evidently nobody nobody. That's what I 802 01:09:14.960 --> 01:09:21.520 mean by judicial supremacy that we see being evidenced all the time. Uh, 803 01:09:21.800 --> 01:09:26.239 South Coast Salt, Thank you very much for the tip on rumble. Let's 804 01:09:26.279 --> 01:09:28.960 thank you David.

Well, welcome back and thank you on Rumbles Fromford. 811 01:11:36.239 --> 01:11:40.640 Thank you very much. That's very kind, he says. I used to 812 01:11:40.640 --> 01:11:45.720 spend my weekday mornings listening to Howard Stern. Then God woke me to what 813 01:11:45.840 --> 01:11:49.560 his show was really about, a tool to defile our Christian culture. Thanks 814 01:11:49.600 --> 01:11:53.520 David for being one of the good guys. Well, thank you. I'm 815 01:11:53.560 --> 01:11:59.640 glad that you got out. Yeah, when I first started Info Wars, 816 01:11:59.680 --> 01:12:06.680 we were on a serious satellite and we got kicked off, but Howard Stern 817 01:12:06.760 --> 01:12:13.640 got big raise. And that was back when I was doing a lot of 818 01:12:13.640 --> 01:12:17.600 guest hosting. That was like twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen. I did not 819 01:12:17.720 --> 01:12:25.960 realize that the CEO of a serious was a tranny, a real groundbreaking tranny 820 01:12:26.039 --> 01:12:29.640 guy as well. So I guess my comments did not go down well with 821 01:12:29.720 --> 01:12:35.439 him. After years of denial, Hunter Biden finally acknowledged that Joe was the 822 01:12:35.479 --> 01:12:41.079 big guy and the five million dollar China deal. Wow. Who So, 823 01:12:41.119 --> 01:12:45.359 I guess can we trust this now? We all knew it all the way 824 01:12:45.399 --> 01:12:49.720 along this bowl face denial. But now the people who got egg on their 825 01:12:49.720 --> 01:12:55.319 face with the media who defended him over this stuff. And then we have 826 01:12:55.399 --> 01:12:59.560 a lot of Trump fans in Trump media who are still in denial about their 827 01:12:59.560 --> 01:13:03.479 big guy. And one of the worst of these is Wayne Allen Root. 828 01:13:04.520 --> 01:13:10.039 I could not believe this headline when I saw it, absolutely insane at the 829 01:13:10.039 --> 01:13:16.680 Gateway Pundit headline is do you believe in miracles? Something supernatural is happening with 830 01:13:16.840 --> 01:13:25.279 President Trump. We are all witnessing the Trump miracle. Wow wow. And 831 01:13:25.319 --> 01:13:29.079 they say it's not idolatry. I don't have that clip. I need to 832 01:13:29.119 --> 01:13:32.520 keep it on the board here all the time of the the tink commitments and 833 01:13:32.560 --> 01:13:38.560 the people created a great committed a great sin. Yeah, that's what really 834 01:13:38.600 --> 01:13:43.279 needs to be there. But he says, you know, when we live 835 01:13:43.319 --> 01:13:46.199 in a negative, cynical world. You know, we should just trust all 836 01:13:46.239 --> 01:13:49.359 these politicians, especially if they got anar behind their name. Don't be cynical 837 01:13:49.399 --> 01:13:57.359 about this. Yeah, I get people are telling me this before January six, 838 01:13:57.520 --> 01:14:01.520 just leave Trump alone. And then after January six, especially after Biden 839 01:14:01.560 --> 01:14:05.000 got sworn in, just leave Trump alone. USA. He's not going away, 840 01:14:05.039 --> 01:14:09.880 He's coming back. And these people are quuring on prophets and all the 841 01:14:09.880 --> 01:14:12.239 rest of this stuff, or telling us that he's still president and he's going 842 01:14:12.279 --> 01:14:14.720 to be coming back. There was still at that point in time saying, 843 01:14:14.800 --> 01:14:16.520 you know, he really is the true president and I've been told this by 844 01:14:16.560 --> 01:14:19.079 God, and he's going to be reinstalled in a couple of months and all 845 01:14:19.119 --> 01:14:24.920 the rest of this stuff. It's like you people are have absolutely no shame, 846 01:14:26.199 --> 01:14:29.239 but you're bringing shame on the name of Christ. You really are, 847 01:14:30.039 --> 01:14:32.920 you know, frauds like that. He says, a few of us really 848 01:14:32.960 --> 01:14:36.800 believe in miracles, and even few of us believe a miracle is happening, 849 01:14:36.840 --> 01:14:40.720 even when it is happening right in front of us. But miracles happen all 850 01:14:40.720 --> 01:14:45.119 the time. You just have to be open to seeing and believing in miracles. 851 01:14:45.399 --> 01:14:48.079 I believe a miracle sent directly by God is happening right in front of 852 01:14:48.119 --> 01:14:53.319 us right now, and you have to open your eyes. Trump is that 853 01:14:53.439 --> 01:15:02.600 miracle, says Wayne Allen Rude. Blasphemous, blind and just amazing. Yes, 854 01:15:02.720 --> 01:15:06.439 sometimes he's crude and rude, you know, but he is the suffering 855 01:15:06.439 --> 01:15:10.800 Messiah. He doesn't call him the suffering Massigh, but that's what he's predictedly 856 01:15:10.800 --> 01:15:14.960 putting here. He's had so many indictments and trials, says Wayne Allen Rude. 857 01:15:15.199 --> 01:15:19.399 He faces over seven hundred years in prison. If only, if only, 858 01:15:20.680 --> 01:15:23.600 he should be worried. If you want to talk about a miracle, 859 01:15:24.239 --> 01:15:30.520 pray for a miracle, Pray that God changes Trump's heart, because he faces 860 01:15:30.520 --> 01:15:35.600 an eternity is something worse than prison. He is painted as Hitler and as 861 01:15:35.720 --> 01:15:43.960 KKK. Virtually everyone in power is against him, from the deep Swamp to 862 01:15:44.039 --> 01:15:47.119 the deep State, to the military industrial complex, all these organizations that he 863 01:15:47.199 --> 01:15:50.319 was over and in charge of for four years. He was king of all 864 01:15:50.359 --> 01:15:55.479 that. This guy was king of Mordor for four years, and he didn't 865 01:15:55.560 --> 01:16:01.199 reduce the size of the More Door Army at all more power. It's just 866 01:16:01.439 --> 01:16:08.520 amazing to me to look at all of this. Yeah, he ruled all 867 01:16:08.520 --> 01:16:11.880 this stuff for four years. But they're all against him. They're all against 868 01:16:11.920 --> 01:16:15.159 him because it is a gang of It is a gang and it is a 869 01:16:15.239 --> 01:16:23.439 game of thrones, and so these people all want to be the one, 870 01:16:23.640 --> 01:16:27.119 and they don't like the fact that he wants to be the one. You 871 01:16:27.159 --> 01:16:30.039 know, he wants to be a part of the club. But it's not 872 01:16:30.079 --> 01:16:31.600 just that he wants to be a part of the club. He must be 873 01:16:31.680 --> 01:16:35.760 the one they all vow to they must all kiss his ring, and they're 874 01:16:35.800 --> 01:16:42.680 not into doing that. That is a thing that really bothers them. But 875 01:16:42.800 --> 01:16:46.800 he did everything that they wanted. He did everything that they always wanted. 876 01:16:47.479 --> 01:16:51.239 He did everything they always said they wanted. And we knew that, and 877 01:16:51.279 --> 01:16:54.840 we were told, oh, he's just doing forty chess. I know it 878 01:16:54.840 --> 01:16:58.000 looks like he sold us out. I know that he's doing everything that the 879 01:16:58.000 --> 01:17:01.399 World Economic Form and the World Health Organized and the UN always said they wanted. 880 01:17:02.399 --> 01:17:05.479 And I know that he's doing what they practiced for twenty years. But 881 01:17:05.520 --> 01:17:10.720 Alex said, it's just for d chs. He told his audience privately, 882 01:17:10.760 --> 01:17:16.560 he knew otherwise, it's what they always wanted. It was betrayal. But 883 01:17:16.880 --> 01:17:20.279 Wayne Allen Root says, foreign governments are so desperate to stop him. Global 884 01:17:20.359 --> 01:17:25.399 organizations like the World Economic Forum and WHU, and you know they got exactly 885 01:17:25.399 --> 01:17:29.159 what they wanted. NATO as well. Yeah, you look at it, 886 01:17:29.199 --> 01:17:35.119 look at how that was orchestrated. You know, Biden is the noisy little 887 01:17:35.159 --> 01:17:44.479 horn out there talking about how he's going to wants to defund NATO, and 888 01:17:44.520 --> 01:17:46.720 you know these other people, they you know, they've got it. They're 889 01:17:46.760 --> 01:17:49.279 not even doing their two percent job. They need to do their two percent 890 01:17:49.359 --> 01:17:53.600 job. Did he defund NATO? No, but in the mind of people 891 01:17:53.640 --> 01:17:57.399 like Wayne Allen Root who listened to Wayne Allen Root and other people like that, 892 01:17:58.840 --> 01:18:01.479 in their mind, he did it, or he will do it if 893 01:18:01.520 --> 01:18:06.880 he becomes president again. Instead, what he did was he got the NATO 894 01:18:08.039 --> 01:18:16.720 states to up their anti in preparation for what Biden did in Ukraine. And 895 01:18:16.760 --> 01:18:20.840 Trump didn't stop the civil war that was going on in Ukraine that began under 896 01:18:20.840 --> 01:18:30.800 Obama and continued throughout his four years. It was four years of it was 897 01:18:30.800 --> 01:18:34.000 four years ago, well, three years of Obama, four years of Trump 898 01:18:34.000 --> 01:18:40.479 and another year of Biden before putin evaded of a civil war. None of 899 01:18:40.560 --> 01:18:44.520 them wanted to stop it. But Wayne Allen Root says, something supernatural is 900 01:18:44.520 --> 01:18:47.279 happening. Yes, yes, I believe so as well. I believe it 901 01:18:47.399 --> 01:18:53.880 is a strong delusion. And I'm serious about that, a strong delusion that's 902 01:18:53.920 --> 01:19:00.000 being pushed out there. Some people willingly ignorant, willingly deluded their being deceased 903 01:19:00.319 --> 01:19:02.880 by a lot of false prophets and a lot of false opinion. People like 904 01:19:02.880 --> 01:19:06.560 Wayne Allen Ruot, who knows better. Wayne Allen Root was one of these 905 01:19:06.560 --> 01:19:11.439 people out there coaching Trump says, stop talking about the vaccine. We know 906 01:19:11.479 --> 01:19:13.720 how bad it is, and they know how bad it is. Please don't 907 01:19:13.760 --> 01:19:17.520 talk about that. You distance yourself from it. Because Trump just kept talking 908 01:19:17.560 --> 01:19:23.399 about his program of death. Now he'd put that it's just the greatest thing 909 01:19:23.439 --> 01:19:28.479 to him because he did it in his mind. So he says, I 910 01:19:28.520 --> 01:19:32.279 don't think Trump can be stopped. He's touched by God, he's superhuman, 911 01:19:32.880 --> 01:19:36.960 he has supernatural support about him. I don't think anyone can stop him. 912 01:19:38.000 --> 01:19:41.880 In my lifetime. I've never seen a human being on earth surrounded by this 913 01:19:42.039 --> 01:19:46.000 supernatural force. Trump doesn't even age. He looks the same as eight years 914 01:19:46.000 --> 01:19:51.439 Ago. All this, says Wayne Allen. Rooton, Well, you're starting 915 01:19:51.439 --> 01:19:59.000 to conviss me, Wayne, that he's an antichrist. Look Satan has been 916 01:19:59.039 --> 01:20:03.560 given power to turn and over earthly kingdoms to whoever he wishes. He promised 917 01:20:03.560 --> 01:20:08.920 that to Christ. If that wasn't real, that wouldn't have been a temptation, 918 01:20:09.199 --> 01:20:14.319 right, So you think he hasn't even aged, Well you should see 919 01:20:14.359 --> 01:20:17.600 the Dorian Gray portrait there at Moral Lago, or I should say, Maga 920 01:20:17.720 --> 01:20:23.399 Lago. Do you believe in miracles? Says Wayne Allen? This is the 921 01:20:23.560 --> 01:20:26.119 He just keeps going. It's a miracles of miracles, don't I should have 922 01:20:26.159 --> 01:20:32.960 counted how many times in this article? This shill, this deceiver, this 923 01:20:33.239 --> 01:20:39.479 liar. Wayne Allen uses the term miracle. Do you believe in miracles? 924 01:20:39.479 --> 01:20:43.359 It's time to start believing what is happening is supernatural. Everyone is starting to 925 01:20:43.399 --> 01:20:47.800 see it. Everyone is starting to believe the signs are there. Trump is 926 01:20:47.960 --> 01:20:54.399 quote the chosen One. Okay, it's a messiah, that's what he's saying. 927 01:20:54.600 --> 01:20:59.560 So I says blasphemy. Trump is sent by God, Trump is blessed 928 01:20:59.560 --> 01:21:01.960 by God. Well, Trump is sent by God as a curse. I 929 01:21:02.000 --> 01:21:06.520 think in a judgment on this idolatrous, corrupt nation that is so focused on 930 01:21:06.560 --> 01:21:15.079 wealth and comfort and on themselves. Yeah, this is a supernatural world that 931 01:21:15.119 --> 01:21:18.119 we live in, quite frankly. And then you have on the other side, 932 01:21:19.560 --> 01:21:27.359 we have Mika Brazinski. His father is a big new Brazinski was the 933 01:21:27.640 --> 01:21:32.960 brainchild of the Trilateral Commission. And you know, he wrote his book and 934 01:21:32.960 --> 01:21:35.000 as a matter of fact, back in the nineteen seventies, in his book 935 01:21:35.039 --> 01:21:39.359 Between Two Ages, he talked about the coming technocratic Age, that's the way 936 01:21:39.359 --> 01:21:44.359 he referred to it, where they the elites would know everything about us and 937 01:21:44.399 --> 01:21:46.119 be able to predict what we were going to do before we even knew what 938 01:21:46.159 --> 01:21:49.319 we were going to do. He had been planning this stuff for a long 939 01:21:49.399 --> 01:21:53.840 time. Yeah, he did that fifty years ago. They liked what he 940 01:21:53.880 --> 01:22:00.039 did in terms of the Trilateral Commission. Create three blocks that are unified, 941 01:22:00.079 --> 01:22:04.159 strongly unified, and we do it, you know with economics, just like 942 01:22:04.199 --> 01:22:08.159 the World Economic Forum. Right, We're going to do it not through conquest, 943 01:22:08.159 --> 01:22:12.000 but we do it through the love of money. And so we create 944 01:22:12.039 --> 01:22:15.720 these three different groups and then we consolidate those three groups into one world government. 945 01:22:15.840 --> 01:22:21.039 They liked that so much that they made him president during the Carter administration. 946 01:22:21.199 --> 01:22:25.159 He was the guy who ran the Carter administration, just like Kissinger ran 947 01:22:25.279 --> 01:22:32.600 Nixon. And now his daughter, Meeka Brazinski's got her her program. And 948 01:22:35.560 --> 01:22:41.680 Rodreyer retweeted this and he says, if you don't hate white country people, 949 01:22:42.520 --> 01:22:45.840 you might be a fascist. And this is what National Television Network aired. 950 01:22:47.399 --> 01:22:54.960 And here it is. Let's see, let me find it here. Here 951 01:22:55.000 --> 01:22:59.359 it is joining us now Professor of political science at the University of Maryland, 952 01:22:59.439 --> 01:23:03.479 Baltimore, Tom Shaller and journalist and opinion writer Paul Waldman. Their new book 953 01:23:03.600 --> 01:23:10.159 out tomorrow is entitled White Yes Today. Well rage the threat you can get 954 01:23:10.159 --> 01:23:14.439 your American democracy. And Tom will start with you, White world people are 955 01:23:14.479 --> 01:23:16.680 bad voters, a threat to democracy. At this point, you would think, 956 01:23:16.760 --> 01:23:20.960 as we pointed out looking at Joe Biden's background and Donald Trump's, that 957 01:23:21.760 --> 01:23:26.239 the opposite would be true. I mean, we lay out the four fold 958 01:23:26.359 --> 01:23:30.079 interconnected threat that white world voters post of the country first of all, and 959 01:23:30.119 --> 01:23:32.840 we show thirty polls in national studies to demonstrate this. So we provide the 960 01:23:32.880 --> 01:23:38.680 receipts in chapter six. They are the most racist, xenophobic anti immigrant and 961 01:23:38.680 --> 01:23:42.920 anti gay geodemographic group in the country. Second, they're the most conspiracist group 962 01:23:43.119 --> 01:23:46.239 QAnon support and subscribers, even more so than you. Iihilism, COVID denihalism, 963 01:23:46.239 --> 01:23:50.560 and scientific skepticism, Obama birtherism. Yeah, you don't believe the mcguffins 964 01:23:50.600 --> 01:23:55.359 croduct sentiments. They don't believe in an independent press, free speech. They're 965 01:23:55.359 --> 01:23:58.560 most likely to say the president should be able to act unilaterally without any checks 966 01:23:58.600 --> 01:24:02.359 from Congress or the Core, but Biden does. They're also the most strongly 967 01:24:02.399 --> 01:24:05.920 white nationalists and white Christian nationalists. And fourth, they are most likely to 968 01:24:06.359 --> 01:24:12.520 excuse or justify violence as an acceptable alternative to peaceful public distance. So you 969 01:24:12.640 --> 01:24:18.000 mentioned a lot of negative factors about this demographic of stereotypes. Yeah, all 970 01:24:18.039 --> 01:24:21.359 it is is just a bunch of hate and stereotypes and bias from these people. 971 01:24:23.119 --> 01:24:25.439 They don't believe in an independent press. Well, yes we do, 972 01:24:25.640 --> 01:24:28.199 free speech, Yes we do. We even want it on social media. 973 01:24:28.319 --> 01:24:32.279 Unlike you, who know better than us and are going to tell us what 974 01:24:32.319 --> 01:24:35.039 we can and cannot say. You're going to tell us. So you say 975 01:24:35.079 --> 01:24:38.720 that we are anti scientific, and yet you won't show your data, whether 976 01:24:38.720 --> 01:24:43.239 we're talking about climate or we're talking about COVID. He says they think that 977 01:24:43.239 --> 01:24:46.239 the president should be backed unilaterally without checks from the courts. Well, first 978 01:24:46.239 --> 01:24:49.359 of all, who checks the courts? That's what I was just saying. 979 01:24:51.159 --> 01:24:56.319 And it's not only the courts, but as many other ways that we should 980 01:24:56.359 --> 01:24:59.880 have checks and balances, isn't it. Should we have checks and balances against 981 01:24:59.880 --> 01:25:02.399 the federal government with the state government. Should we have checks and balances against 982 01:25:02.399 --> 01:25:08.920 the federal government with the people. Should we have checks and balances against the 983 01:25:09.119 --> 01:25:13.319 president not just with courts, but with Congress and vice versa. Right, 984 01:25:14.640 --> 01:25:23.760 So the problem is is that you talk about a president who should be acting 985 01:25:23.800 --> 01:25:26.960 in laterally. Do they have a problem with Biden who has just decided that 986 01:25:27.000 --> 01:25:31.039 he's going to ignore the courts about the student loan thing. You know, 987 01:25:31.079 --> 01:25:33.520 he came up with an idea that, hey, you know, I think 988 01:25:33.560 --> 01:25:38.520 the demographic that's most likely to support me is going to be a liberal college 989 01:25:38.640 --> 01:25:42.560 educated people who now they went through and they got a lot of debt, 990 01:25:42.600 --> 01:25:45.520 and they got a degree that's not really paying much for them. They want 991 01:25:45.560 --> 01:25:47.279 to get free of that debt. Those people are more likely to vote for 992 01:25:47.319 --> 01:25:49.920 me, and he's right. They are. So he decided that he would 993 01:25:49.920 --> 01:25:56.279 take away their loans that they foolishly incurred for a degree of absolutely no value. 994 01:25:57.439 --> 01:26:00.840 But he's going to take that away to buy their vote. They took 995 01:26:00.880 --> 01:26:02.600 it to it was challenged to the Supreme Court. Supreme Court said you can't 996 01:26:02.600 --> 01:26:04.800 do that. He just come out and said, I don't care whether Supreme 997 01:26:04.800 --> 01:26:10.199 Court says, I'm going to do it anyway. They don't have a problem 998 01:26:10.319 --> 01:26:17.039 when their guy acts unilaterally as a dictator, as he has throughout all of 999 01:26:17.079 --> 01:26:20.439 this, whether you're talking about vaccine mandates, whether you're talking about bribery and 1000 01:26:20.520 --> 01:26:26.840 blackmail over vaccines, or whether you're talking about trying to buy voters with student 1001 01:26:26.880 --> 01:26:36.880 loan forgiveness. These people are absolute hypocrites and hateful race baiters. So what 1002 01:26:36.960 --> 01:26:42.920 they're describing in some of these cases when they start talking about the QAnon people, 1003 01:26:42.960 --> 01:26:47.720 what they're describing is the reckless rhetoric of some demagogues like Steve Bannon, 1004 01:26:48.039 --> 01:26:53.199 like Jack the Soviet, like Michael Flynn. They were just there and see 1005 01:26:53.239 --> 01:26:56.359 pac talking about how, yeah, it's going to be a revolution and there's 1006 01:26:56.399 --> 01:26:58.800 going to be this and we're not taking this anymore, and all this other 1007 01:26:58.880 --> 01:27:01.680 kind of stuff hyping up a small minority, and I mean a small minority. 1008 01:27:01.680 --> 01:27:04.439 Nobody even went to Seapac. Maybe they were smart enough to say, 1009 01:27:04.439 --> 01:27:08.920 I don't want to have my picture taken with some idiot, some con man, 1010 01:27:09.159 --> 01:27:15.359 some convicted con man like Steve Bennon, you know, throwing out insinuations 1011 01:27:15.439 --> 01:27:24.279 about civil war and about violence to his opponents. What a bunch of idiots. 1012 01:27:24.840 --> 01:27:28.119 But he's doing it to his own people, just as Trump and Alex 1013 01:27:28.199 --> 01:27:30.439 Jones did it to them back in twenty twenty. That's what he's doing. 1014 01:27:31.000 --> 01:27:36.319 The Sea pack stuff, this Reawaken America tour stuff, Stay away from that. 1015 01:27:38.199 --> 01:27:42.600 These people want to get you in trouble. You think that they're on 1016 01:27:42.640 --> 01:27:45.560 your side, they're on the side of the establishment. You look at Michael 1017 01:27:45.600 --> 01:27:49.119 Flynn, you look at Steve Manning, you look at Jack pasoviet. These 1018 01:27:49.119 --> 01:27:57.640 are all people who came from the inside. Pasovieac and Flynn were part of 1019 01:27:57.800 --> 01:28:00.239 intelligence, the right wing intelligence, a see, and they're setting up people 1020 01:28:01.159 --> 01:28:03.439 and they're also trying to push the civil war. And so it was Steve 1021 01:28:03.479 --> 01:28:09.800 Bannon. Steve Bannon, somebody who's who is hiding out on the yacht of 1022 01:28:09.960 --> 01:28:16.439 a Chinese communist billionaire in exile, somebody who was convicted for scamming people who 1023 01:28:16.520 --> 01:28:21.880 wanted a border wall that Trump was not building. And then it is not 1024 01:28:21.960 --> 01:28:26.960 in prison right now because Trump gave him a pardon. But Trump won't pardon 1025 01:28:27.800 --> 01:28:30.840 the January sixth ers. Trump won't pardon Julian Asnagh, but he'll pardon Steve 1026 01:28:30.840 --> 01:28:35.239 Man. And why because Steve Bannon is a part of these Judas goats, 1027 01:28:35.319 --> 01:28:42.079 the Judist goat movement, and so you know what is going on with this 1028 01:28:42.199 --> 01:28:48.000 whole idea of white rural rage. The name of their book, as this 1029 01:28:48.199 --> 01:28:56.000 article on the Daily Yonder planted out, and they did a great job because 1030 01:28:56.560 --> 01:29:00.319 it's not just a rebuttal of the ignorance, the bias, the racism, 1031 01:29:00.359 --> 01:29:04.479 and the hate of people like Mika Brazinski and these authors who wrote White Rural 1032 01:29:04.560 --> 01:29:10.960 Rage. But he actually offers a solution to all of this stuff. They 1033 01:29:11.000 --> 01:29:15.640 we ought to all pay attention to. He says, you know, as 1034 01:29:15.680 --> 01:29:18.199 you look at as you just saw it right there, they're regurgitating every rural 1035 01:29:18.279 --> 01:29:24.640 stereotype that you can imagine by people who hate people who live in the country 1036 01:29:26.119 --> 01:29:30.000 and then he gives an interesting example. But before that he talks about what 1037 01:29:30.039 --> 01:29:33.800 the real problem is, and it's a real problem, not just with people 1038 01:29:33.840 --> 01:29:36.880 in rural areas, it's a real problem with people in urban areas as well, 1039 01:29:38.279 --> 01:29:44.199 he says. In his two thousand book Bowling Alone, sociologist Robert Putnam 1040 01:29:44.239 --> 01:29:48.399 observed that America fraternized. Americans fraternized much less today than in the past, 1041 01:29:49.520 --> 01:29:54.119 because of the Internet, because of social media, because of smartphones. These 1042 01:29:54.159 --> 01:29:59.760 are all amplified, a phenomenon leading to what writer Derek Thompson calls quote a 1043 01:30:00.079 --> 01:30:08.279 isis of social fitness, which has spawned a friendship recession, which is just 1044 01:30:08.279 --> 01:30:14.560 to say that we're all isolated. And he says there's a real life socializing 1045 01:30:14.600 --> 01:30:19.319 for men has plummeted. Typically don't have friends, they don't socialize with anybody. 1046 01:30:20.079 --> 01:30:29.439 And so he gives an example as to how to fix this, and 1047 01:30:29.479 --> 01:30:35.960 he talks about a guy who was a very very liberal member of Congress. 1048 01:30:36.119 --> 01:30:42.079 His name was Carl Albert back in nineteen sixty eight, and for historical context, 1049 01:30:42.199 --> 01:30:49.079 nineteen sixty eight was really the height of people pushing back against lbj's conduct 1050 01:30:49.239 --> 01:30:53.159 of the Vietnam War. People didn't like that, especially in the Democrat Party. 1051 01:30:53.520 --> 01:31:00.239 You had riots in Chicago pushing back against that. You had LBJ eventually 1052 01:31:00.800 --> 01:31:04.760 resigning and not resigning but saying that he's not going to run for reelection, 1053 01:31:06.079 --> 01:31:11.479 and so then they put mc governor in against Nixon. But everybody was very 1054 01:31:11.560 --> 01:31:17.000 upset with what was happening in the country, very discontented, and LBJ did 1055 01:31:17.000 --> 01:31:24.239 not run for reelection. And so Carl Albert was really kind of the number 1056 01:31:24.279 --> 01:31:27.000 two guy in Congress. He had been there for twenty two years, but 1057 01:31:27.039 --> 01:31:30.800 he was still relatively young, and the guy who was the Speaker of the 1058 01:31:30.840 --> 01:31:34.479 House was not really able to do much, and so this was the guy 1059 01:31:34.520 --> 01:31:40.520 who was really doing pretty much everything. And he was very very liberal. 1060 01:31:40.600 --> 01:31:45.119 He wasn't just liberal, he was very liberal. His problem was is that 1061 01:31:45.159 --> 01:31:48.399 he was that had expanded his district, this congressional district, and now it 1062 01:31:48.439 --> 01:31:54.479 included a lot of conservative people in rural areas. So it was much larger, 1063 01:31:55.119 --> 01:31:59.000 and it included a lot of people that were not going to relate to 1064 01:31:59.079 --> 01:32:02.279 him. And as he said, he was really stretched out with a lot 1065 01:32:02.279 --> 01:32:08.720 of you know, political work, essentially being the functioning Speaker of the House 1066 01:32:08.760 --> 01:32:12.119 at the time, and he was working so hard that he had a heart 1067 01:32:12.119 --> 01:32:15.279 attack and he had to take some time off, and he's looking at it. 1068 01:32:15.279 --> 01:32:19.119 It's like I'm gonna I'm going to lose the election, and so what 1069 01:32:19.279 --> 01:32:24.600 do I do with all of this? He says, right, he says, 1070 01:32:26.000 --> 01:32:30.880 he goes to Ghost's congressional district and he said, you know, again, 1071 01:32:31.000 --> 01:32:33.520 Vietnam was a big issue. There were riots that were going on. 1072 01:32:33.640 --> 01:32:43.039 Everybody was unhappy with the Democrats, and he said, he didn't plaster the 1073 01:32:43.600 --> 01:32:48.520 airways with commercials. Instead, what he decided to do, and he was 1074 01:32:48.560 --> 01:32:51.000 a majority of leader, so he's a number two guy, but effectively he's 1075 01:32:51.039 --> 01:32:54.800 like the speaker of the house. Instead, what he did was he got 1076 01:32:54.800 --> 01:33:00.159 into his car and he started driving around this rural district without any staff and 1077 01:33:00.199 --> 01:33:04.439 without really any preparation. He spent five days visiting twenty seven towns to meet 1078 01:33:04.479 --> 01:33:11.039 the voters. And in these towns, Albert would amble into gas stations and 1079 01:33:11.159 --> 01:33:16.000 grocery stores. He would introduce himself to anyone and everyone. He took notes 1080 01:33:16.039 --> 01:33:21.840 of what people said, he actually listened to them. There was plenty of 1081 01:33:23.319 --> 01:33:26.960 grumbling about the riots, but over five days he encountered only one real redneck, 1082 01:33:27.000 --> 01:33:30.439 he said on the race question. Arriving at mccurtin, Oklahoma at seven 1083 01:33:30.479 --> 01:33:32.359 pm, the local gas station, which doubled as the town grocery, was 1084 01:33:32.399 --> 01:33:36.119 the only open business. He introduced himself to the owner, which resulted in 1085 01:33:36.159 --> 01:33:40.880 a phone call to the mayor that led to an impromptu community meeting at a 1086 01:33:40.920 --> 01:33:45.600 closed department store that lasted until ten pm. Stops at local newspapers and banks 1087 01:33:45.640 --> 01:33:49.920 resulted in earfolds about the riots that were going on, but Albert knew that 1088 01:33:49.960 --> 01:33:54.720 it was better to have constituents vent their spleen than to ruminate in silence. 1089 01:33:55.399 --> 01:33:59.880 Spontaneous visits to a store led to speare of the moment, invites to rotary 1090 01:34:00.000 --> 01:34:04.560 clubs that resulted in unplanned radio interviews, which spawned unexpected offers to speak at 1091 01:34:04.560 --> 01:34:12.800 school assemblies. Word spread. Oklahomas liked that their congressmen shook their hand and 1092 01:34:12.880 --> 01:34:16.720 asked for their thoughts, and five days after the road trip commenced, Albert, 1093 01:34:16.960 --> 01:34:19.960 the world class worry wart, concluded, I feel like we will have 1094 01:34:20.039 --> 01:34:25.840 no trouble in these communities. And throughout the summer he continued to travel around 1095 01:34:25.880 --> 01:34:30.279 his district and he district, and he made new friends, and then he 1096 01:34:30.399 --> 01:34:36.039 won reelection, this liberal one reelection of very conservative district with sixty eight percent 1097 01:34:36.199 --> 01:34:42.159 of the vote. And so you contrast that to what these guys are doing 1098 01:34:43.239 --> 01:34:46.239 and what Mika Brazinski is doing. Again, what they are doing is simply 1099 01:34:46.279 --> 01:34:53.199 reducing everybody to a stereotype. As he says, rather than listen, rather 1100 01:34:53.239 --> 01:34:59.199 than try to understand the complicated, three dimensional rural Americans, they just stereotyped 1101 01:34:59.239 --> 01:35:05.279 them willing to reach across the divide, Shaller and Waldman gorge themselves on negative, 1102 01:35:05.479 --> 01:35:13.399 nihilistic stereotypes. They regurgitate every stereotype that they have seen in their view. 1103 01:35:13.439 --> 01:35:17.279 Rule whites vote Republican only to see their economic straits devolve. Angered at 1104 01:35:17.279 --> 01:35:20.119 this turnabout, they flocked to Donald Trump. And you, by the way, 1105 01:35:20.239 --> 01:35:24.399 he says, Look, they always vote Republican, and so the Republicans 1106 01:35:24.399 --> 01:35:28.439 take them for granted. The same thing happens to urban blacks that happens to 1107 01:35:28.520 --> 01:35:30.319 rural whites. The urban blacks will always vote for the Democrats, who never 1108 01:35:30.319 --> 01:35:34.960 do anything for them, and the rural whites always vote for the Republicans who 1109 01:35:35.000 --> 01:35:41.920 never do anything for them. Why because whether you're talking about Republicans or Democrats. 1110 01:35:41.920 --> 01:35:45.439 They're they're serving themselves, not you. They don't even bother to listen 1111 01:35:45.479 --> 01:35:48.039 to you. They're just like Mika Brazenski and these other people. They talk 1112 01:35:48.079 --> 01:35:54.359 at you, and they don't share your concerns, and they don't share the 1113 01:35:54.399 --> 01:36:00.439 burden of what these laws that are being passed are really about. And so 1114 01:36:00.520 --> 01:36:03.079 he says, and here, it's true that sixty five percent of rural Americans 1115 01:36:03.159 --> 01:36:06.399 voted for Trump in twenty twenty. But it's also true that the Electoral College 1116 01:36:06.439 --> 01:36:12.880 and the US Senate give rural Americans outsized political power. No, that's not 1117 01:36:12.920 --> 01:36:15.720 true. That is not true. As a matter of fact, it's just 1118 01:36:15.760 --> 01:36:19.920 the opposite. And I've pointed this out through multiple election cycles. You have 1119 01:36:20.439 --> 01:36:28.520 in each state, you're always concerned about the big urban centers outweighing everything else 1120 01:36:28.640 --> 01:36:31.479 is there. That's particularly true for example, in Virginia. In Virginia, 1121 01:36:31.479 --> 01:36:35.479 you have the suburbs of Washington, d C. You have the Norfolk area, 1122 01:36:35.600 --> 01:36:40.880 which is a big military naval base that is there. And these are 1123 01:36:40.920 --> 01:36:45.960 people who are not Virginians. They're not rural. They don't really think about 1124 01:36:45.039 --> 01:36:54.560 Virginia. They are more government focused in their orientation and don't really care, 1125 01:36:56.079 --> 01:36:59.439 don't have connections to the state like the people in the rural areas. And 1126 01:36:59.479 --> 01:37:02.960 you see this state after state in Texas, for example, it was being 1127 01:37:03.039 --> 01:37:06.680 pushed and pulled around by the big cities in many cases, but especially in 1128 01:37:06.680 --> 01:37:14.439 places like Virginia. Here in Tennessee, Nashville, Memphis are pulling around now 1129 01:37:14.520 --> 01:37:16.399 right now, they're not big enough to have that much clout, but there's 1130 01:37:16.399 --> 01:37:20.760 an awful lot of money, more so than people in Nashville, and they 1131 01:37:20.800 --> 01:37:26.479 have their way with the Tennessee Governor Lee. And you can see this and 1132 01:37:26.840 --> 01:37:30.960 just no more than I have been here looking at that. And so what 1133 01:37:30.119 --> 01:37:35.520 happens is always the fact that you have these population centers that can swamp everything 1134 01:37:35.520 --> 01:37:39.920 else. I've talked about this in terms of the county that we lived in 1135 01:37:39.960 --> 01:37:45.520 North Carolina. We moved to a rural county and it had been governed by 1136 01:37:46.279 --> 01:37:51.600 people elected by the county was governed by districts, and so you'd vote within 1137 01:37:51.640 --> 01:37:56.920 a particular district for who was going to be on the county commission. And 1138 01:37:56.960 --> 01:38:00.840 then you had a bunch of people that started coming in from neighboring Chapel Hill 1139 01:38:00.840 --> 01:38:05.760 where the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill is where they had the guy who 1140 01:38:05.800 --> 01:38:12.359 did the gain a function experiment, garbage with Fauci. But you had all 1141 01:38:12.399 --> 01:38:15.520 these people who had a lot of money and they started coming in on the 1142 01:38:15.560 --> 01:38:20.520 north side of the county and they wanted to change everything and they wanted to 1143 01:38:20.600 --> 01:38:25.119 rule the county. And the way that they did it was they went from 1144 01:38:25.279 --> 01:38:32.960 electing people in jurisdiction in different districts to having the county elections be at large, 1145 01:38:33.079 --> 01:38:38.399 so you get a slate of people that they ran that everybody in the 1146 01:38:38.399 --> 01:38:43.560 county voted for, because see prior to that, they could only select the 1147 01:38:43.560 --> 01:38:48.159 people that were in their area. And that's why you have the electoral college. 1148 01:38:48.239 --> 01:38:53.399 It basically is a firewall against a few large cities running the country. 1149 01:38:54.520 --> 01:38:58.520 If you don't have that firewall of the electoral college, if you don't have 1150 01:38:58.520 --> 01:39:02.520 the firewall. And we need to give more power to the Senate in terms 1151 01:39:02.520 --> 01:39:10.079 of the state selection of it by repealing that constitutional amendment that had senators elected 1152 01:39:10.119 --> 01:39:15.279 at large, they should be appointed by the state as representative of state power. 1153 01:39:15.239 --> 01:39:18.840 That would be an improvement. It was the wrong way to go with 1154 01:39:18.960 --> 01:39:25.119 I think it's the seventeenth Amendment. But again, you know that is what 1155 01:39:25.159 --> 01:39:28.520 he's saying is not true. It isn't that the rural voters have an outsized 1156 01:39:29.079 --> 01:39:33.640 representation of anything. It's the other way around. He said. The vast 1157 01:39:33.680 --> 01:39:40.840 majority of Trump's seventy four million votes came from suburban and urban voters, but 1158 01:39:42.800 --> 01:39:47.399 he said fewer than one in five Americans live in rural environs, and so 1159 01:39:48.279 --> 01:39:56.199 they do not have outsized representation. He says, yes, Trump is a 1160 01:39:56.199 --> 01:40:00.000 demagogue and a charlatan, and it is true that right wing media spreads conspiracy 1161 01:40:00.079 --> 01:40:04.640 theories and lies, but rural Americans are not budding authoritarians who represent the enemy 1162 01:40:04.720 --> 01:40:10.199 within. They vote GOP because Democrats have ignored them for a generation. I 1163 01:40:10.199 --> 01:40:13.960 would say no, because they've been attacked by Democrats. I would be I 1164 01:40:14.520 --> 01:40:16.880 wouldn't have a problem if Democrats would ignore me. I wish they would. 1165 01:40:18.319 --> 01:40:24.600 Instead, they seek us out and they attack us. They won't leave us 1166 01:40:24.640 --> 01:40:30.359 alone. And so he says, hug Seth is correct in thinking that Democrats 1167 01:40:30.399 --> 01:40:33.199 can win rural Wisconsin again, but they'll need to try well. He said, 1168 01:40:33.239 --> 01:40:36.640 they don't need to look any further than the example that Carl Albert gave 1169 01:40:36.680 --> 01:40:42.000 them. So, you know, I think that is interesting, But I 1170 01:40:42.039 --> 01:40:48.159 think that the reality is that we can certainly see the bias the hatred of 1171 01:40:48.279 --> 01:40:51.199 Miko Brazinski of the left, and we know that they're the ones who are 1172 01:40:51.199 --> 01:40:56.560 building this into Gemini. So one last thing before we take a break, 1173 01:40:56.560 --> 01:41:00.159 and that is in Florida, DeSantis has signed a law to release records that 1174 01:41:00.159 --> 01:41:05.359 could explain why Jeffrey Epstein got minimal charges. Well, it's going to be 1175 01:41:05.399 --> 01:41:12.479 interesting, perhaps who knows, because alex Acosta, Trump's picked for labor, 1176 01:41:12.560 --> 01:41:15.319 as I pointed out the other day, very very tied up in all of 1177 01:41:15.359 --> 01:41:19.399 this. Yeah, it is kind of interesting to look at these people that 1178 01:41:19.439 --> 01:41:28.079 Trump picked. Alex Azar who was top lobbyist for Pfizer and I'm sorry, 1179 01:41:28.079 --> 01:41:33.680 not for Pfiser, for Eli Lilly, who got his start with the anthracts 1180 01:41:33.680 --> 01:41:41.880 attack in two thousand and one and moved up through the bioweapon biosecurity industry, 1181 01:41:42.319 --> 01:41:45.399 but was right there at the very beginning and was training for all that stuff. 1182 01:41:45.680 --> 01:41:51.119 He did such a great job for them, and they hired him just 1183 01:41:51.199 --> 01:41:55.800 a couple of weeks before nine to eleven. Then immediately he gets put on 1184 01:41:55.880 --> 01:42:01.359 the anthracs attack and then he gets that, he gets moved up to deputy 1185 01:42:01.680 --> 01:42:06.439 HHS. Then he becomes a lobbyist for the big corporation Eli Lily, which 1186 01:42:06.479 --> 01:42:15.319 is on a path to become the first trillion dollar pharmaceutical company. And as 1187 01:42:15.680 --> 01:42:21.079 then he becomes CEO of it, and they triple the price of things like 1188 01:42:21.119 --> 01:42:26.439 insulin drugs. You know, they extended their patents. They tripled the price, 1189 01:42:27.399 --> 01:42:30.920 very exploitative. And then when Trump is bought out by the pharmaceutical companies, 1190 01:42:30.920 --> 01:42:36.920 when he uses RFK Junior to bump his price up, painting himself as 1191 01:42:36.960 --> 01:42:44.000 a vaccine skeptic so he could up his price to the pharmaceutical industry. When 1192 01:42:44.520 --> 01:42:46.680 the pharmaceutical industry paid off Trump, well what they do. They brought back 1193 01:42:46.680 --> 01:42:55.439 in alex'zar put him in as head of HHS. Nine months before this happened, 1194 01:42:55.439 --> 01:42:58.199 He's going around to these biosecurity conferences and saying we're going to have a 1195 01:42:58.239 --> 01:43:02.760 pandemic of a recipe toy flu thing. And then he was the one at 1196 01:43:02.800 --> 01:43:08.439 the end of January of twenty twenty who declared the pandemic. What Trump did 1197 01:43:08.840 --> 01:43:15.119 in March thirteenth was he released money, emergency funds to bribe hospitals and everybody 1198 01:43:15.119 --> 01:43:19.640 else to do and Governor's especially to do his bidding. So now DeSantis is 1199 01:43:19.640 --> 01:43:24.000 looking at the Jeffrey Epstein thing. This is another connection. Alex's are the 1200 01:43:24.039 --> 01:43:28.880 guy who was the labor secretary for Trump and got forced out when people realized 1201 01:43:29.199 --> 01:43:33.239 that he was the so called prosecutor who gave a sweetheart deal to Jeffrey Epstein. 1202 01:43:33.920 --> 01:43:40.359 Jeffrey Epstein's defense attorneys were Dershowitz, big Trump supporter now and Ken Starr, 1203 01:43:40.399 --> 01:43:43.039 who's now passed on. But ken Starr was the one who gave a 1204 01:43:43.079 --> 01:43:49.359 sweetheart deal to Bill Clinton, another Jeffrey Epstein buddy, just like Donald Trump, 1205 01:43:50.399 --> 01:43:56.439 Desanta signed a bipartisan bill into law that will unearth more Jeffrey Epstein records. 1206 01:43:56.439 --> 01:43:59.359 The law will allow for the release of records from a two thousand and 1207 01:43:59.399 --> 01:44:06.199 six Florida grand jury. Prosecutors allowed Epstein's let's say prosecutors that's Alex's r allowed 1208 01:44:06.359 --> 01:44:15.359 Epstein to plead guilty to only a single prostitution solicitation charge. They allowed him 1209 01:44:15.359 --> 01:44:18.880 to escape accountability for raping and sexually abusing girls. Prosecutors decided to bring just 1210 01:44:18.960 --> 01:44:24.920 a single victim before the grand jury, even though law enforcement had concluded that 1211 01:44:25.000 --> 01:44:30.640 Epstein sexually abused more than thirty girls. See, this is exactly what ken 1212 01:44:30.680 --> 01:44:32.520 Start did with Bill Clinton. We're going to make it about Monica Lewinsky and 1213 01:44:32.560 --> 01:44:38.119 about him committing perjury about a consensual thing. But we're going to call the 1214 01:44:38.119 --> 01:44:44.600 rest of the people Bimbo's trailer trash, and we're going to forget all the 1215 01:44:44.640 --> 01:44:49.640 allegations of sexual violent, sexual assault and rape. And we're also going to 1216 01:44:49.680 --> 01:44:57.479 forget all the allegations of bribery and economic corruption of the Clintons as well. 1217 01:44:57.720 --> 01:45:03.479 We'll focus on one thing, and the fact that he said he didn't know 1218 01:45:03.560 --> 01:45:09.359 her, and then you know, was proven otherwise. Under this new law 1219 01:45:09.439 --> 01:45:13.880 that Desantus just signed in Florida, a court could order grand jury evidence to 1220 01:45:13.880 --> 01:45:20.000 be disclosed if the subject of the grand jury probe is deceased and the investigation 1221 01:45:20.079 --> 01:45:26.520 related to criminal or sexual activity, and the activity was between the target and 1222 01:45:26.560 --> 01:45:30.720 the grand jury investigation and a minor looks like this is tailor made for Jeffrey 1223 01:45:30.720 --> 01:45:36.680 Epstein, just like grabbing nuisances escape clause was tailor made for Panera bread. 1224 01:45:38.520 --> 01:45:42.560 All right, we're going to raise the minimum wage for everybody except for Panera 1225 01:45:42.680 --> 01:45:46.199 bread. Oh, we won't say that. We'll say somebody who makes her 1226 01:45:46.199 --> 01:45:49.640 own bread and sells it at retail along with everything else that they sell us 1227 01:45:49.680 --> 01:45:55.880 food. This is what they're doing. Okay, he's dead. It's criminal 1228 01:45:55.920 --> 01:46:00.760 or sexual activity directed towards miners. Well, that's Jeffrey epste Taylor made for 1229 01:46:00.840 --> 01:46:06.319 him that exemption. The Palm Beach Police chief was so outraged that the grand 1230 01:46:06.439 --> 01:46:11.079 jury only charged Epstein with one count that the FBI got involved, and the 1231 01:46:11.119 --> 01:46:15.720 FBI later prepared a fifty three page indictment against Epstein, but their probe was 1232 01:46:15.840 --> 01:46:21.880 undercut by a deal that Epstein's lawyers struck. Who were Epstein's lawyers, Alan 1233 01:46:21.960 --> 01:46:30.319 Derschwitz ken Starr. They struck with then US District Attorney Alex Acosta, who 1234 01:46:30.319 --> 01:46:35.800 became Trump's Department of Labor pick. In the end, Epstein spent just thirteen 1235 01:46:35.840 --> 01:46:40.279 months in jail, much of it spent on work release, where he hung 1236 01:46:40.319 --> 01:46:44.720 out in his office. Like I said before, you know, he got 1237 01:46:44.720 --> 01:46:51.239 the kind of jail time that Otis and the Andy Griffiths show got. You're 1238 01:46:51.359 --> 01:46:55.560 checking a sleep there and then he go do is you know, let himself 1239 01:46:55.560 --> 01:47:00.279 in, let himself out. A twenty nineteen Miami Herald investigation brought renewed interest 1240 01:47:00.119 --> 01:47:04.039 and attention to the prosecutors deals with Epstein. This led to a public outcry 1241 01:47:04.039 --> 01:47:10.439 that forced Acosta, who had become Trump's labor secretary, to resign. Federal 1242 01:47:10.520 --> 01:47:15.199 prosecutors in Manhattan then opened a separate case into Epstein. In January, a 1243 01:47:15.239 --> 01:47:21.399 federal judge unsealed the names of roughly one hundred and seventy of Epstein's associates, 1244 01:47:23.239 --> 01:47:29.640 IMiD a separate lawsuit between one of his accusers and his sex trafficking partner, 1245 01:47:30.239 --> 01:47:36.399 Gallaine Maxwell. So when you and in this, they're also talking to some 1246 01:47:36.439 --> 01:47:44.079 of the people who were involved in this and outraged by what happened. Epstein's 1247 01:47:44.119 --> 01:47:46.239 crimes were first reported to the FBI in nineteen ninety six. What was going 1248 01:47:46.279 --> 01:47:49.439 on with Trump and Epstein? In nineteen ninety six, they were BFFs. 1249 01:47:51.039 --> 01:47:57.439 Oh, They're partying together, partying in New York, partying in Palm Beach, 1250 01:47:57.560 --> 01:48:00.960 all this stuffy. They had a were really best friends at that time, 1251 01:48:01.680 --> 01:48:05.279 and the FBI was already looking at him, but it wasn't until the 1252 01:48:05.319 --> 01:48:09.720 complaint was filed with Palm Beach Police Department in two thousand and five that Epstein 1253 01:48:09.720 --> 01:48:12.920 came under scrutiny. And as I've said, they were really really good friends 1254 01:48:13.000 --> 01:48:19.000 until about that time. Just a couple of months after Trump and Epstein got 1255 01:48:19.039 --> 01:48:26.039 into a spat over a piece of property that went up for sale because the 1256 01:48:26.079 --> 01:48:29.720 guy died or was so old that he had to get rid of it or 1257 01:48:29.760 --> 01:48:31.520 something like that. But they both wanted that piece of property and they had 1258 01:48:31.520 --> 01:48:34.760 to have it, and they got into a contentious competition for that, and 1259 01:48:34.760 --> 01:48:39.960 that poisoned their friendship at that point in time. But up to that point 1260 01:48:39.960 --> 01:48:44.600 in time, for over a decade, they were really really really close friends. 1261 01:48:44.880 --> 01:48:47.159 Trump was close friends with the Clinton's, with the Epstein, with Epstein 1262 01:48:47.199 --> 01:48:49.640 all the rest of the stuff. And as I said, it was kind 1263 01:48:49.640 --> 01:48:57.199 of curious that just a couple of months after that that somebody anonymously reported Jeffrey 1264 01:48:57.199 --> 01:49:03.039 Epstein to the police and they kicked this whole thing off. That interesting anyway, 1265 01:49:04.039 --> 01:49:09.880 he came under scrutiny. Kirshner, who had a reputation for aggressively prosecuting 1266 01:49:09.960 --> 01:49:13.600 crimes against children, initially said that he didn't know who Epstein was, but 1267 01:49:13.680 --> 01:49:15.399 he told the police, I'm going to put him behind bars for the rest 1268 01:49:15.399 --> 01:49:19.880 of his life. Palm Beach detectives took statements from victims, many of them 1269 01:49:19.960 --> 01:49:24.359 terrified of Epstein, who told them basically the same story. They were offered 1270 01:49:24.399 --> 01:49:28.119 money to give a wealthy man massages, massages that then turned into assaults. 1271 01:49:28.119 --> 01:49:32.399 At his Palm Beach mansion. Epstein hired a team of influential lawyers, among 1272 01:49:32.439 --> 01:49:36.000 them Alan Derschwitz, Ken Starr, and Roy Black. According to police, 1273 01:49:36.079 --> 01:49:44.439 Epstein also hired private investigators who stalked his victims and their families. Soon Kirshner, 1274 01:49:44.560 --> 01:49:46.880 the prosecutor, began questioning whether Epstein should be charged with any crimes. 1275 01:49:48.000 --> 01:49:54.000 Most troubling to the police, however, was prosecutors labeling the victims as prostitutes, 1276 01:49:54.880 --> 01:49:59.880 even though some of them were as young as thirteen. Detective Joe Rickerry 1277 01:50:00.199 --> 01:50:03.119 said testify in two thousand and six before the grand jury. He said the 1278 01:50:03.119 --> 01:50:08.000 prosecutors repeatedly postponed the grand jury, then they rescheduled at the last minute. 1279 01:50:08.119 --> 01:50:11.319 By this time, some of the young women had moved away or were in 1280 01:50:11.359 --> 01:50:15.800 college. The rescheduling would force victims to travel long distances. Miss classes on 1281 01:50:15.840 --> 01:50:20.439 short notice, but behind the scenes, prosecutors are unsuccessfully trying to get Epstein 1282 01:50:20.479 --> 01:50:26.680 to plead to lesser charges, and when that failed, Kirshner took the unusual 1283 01:50:26.760 --> 01:50:31.680 step of impaneling a grand jury, a move that is usually reserved for homicide 1284 01:50:31.800 --> 01:50:38.680 cases. Rickerry and his police chief, Michael Reichner, were so troubled by 1285 01:50:38.720 --> 01:50:42.880 what they saw as the state attorney minimizing Epstein's crimes, and they took the 1286 01:50:42.920 --> 01:50:45.159 case to the FBI in two thousand and seven. Riccari, who died after 1287 01:50:45.159 --> 01:50:48.880 a short illness in twenty eighteen, had never given an on the record interview 1288 01:50:48.920 --> 01:50:55.079 until the Miami Herald approached him about the case in twenty seventeen. Writer also 1289 01:50:55.279 --> 01:50:59.319 spoke publicly for the first time about the case as part of Miami Herald's Perversion 1290 01:50:59.479 --> 01:51:03.640 of Justice this series. The series also include interviews with Epstein's victims, detailed 1291 01:51:03.680 --> 01:51:10.520 how Epstein his lawyers managed to manipulate prosecutors into giving him an extraordinarily lenient deal 1292 01:51:10.840 --> 01:51:15.319 that was kept secret from his victims and from their attorneys. He then avoided 1293 01:51:15.359 --> 01:51:18.439 being in jail for long periods of time by getting an unusual incarcerationary arrangement in 1294 01:51:18.479 --> 01:51:24.800 which he spent almost all of his waking hours in a luxurious office suite and 1295 01:51:24.920 --> 01:51:30.039 downtown Palm Beach. He rarely spent time in jail. He was allowed to 1296 01:51:30.039 --> 01:51:35.159 have young women visit him at his office as well. After the Miami Herald 1297 01:51:35.239 --> 01:51:39.880 series, DeSantis had asked the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to investigate the state 1298 01:51:39.920 --> 01:51:45.439 prosecution as well as Epstein's unusual jail privileges. Then, in twenty twenty one, 1299 01:51:45.560 --> 01:51:53.439 state investigators said they found no evidence that Kirshner and State Attorney Lana Belolavik, 1300 01:51:53.920 --> 01:51:57.640 or the Palm Beach sheriff in charge of the jail committed any wrongdoing. 1301 01:51:58.399 --> 01:52:01.399 However, they would not let them see the grand jury records, and so 1302 01:52:01.479 --> 01:52:04.199 that is why this law has been passed. They wanted to get the grand 1303 01:52:04.239 --> 01:52:09.399 jury records to see what was going on with that. We're gonna take a 1304 01:52:09.439 --> 01:52:15.119 quick break. We'll be right back looking for better information.

Like 1307 01:53:33.199 --> 01:53:42.079 nine smartphones came on and kids started They stopped living their lives and started watching 1308 01:53:42.119 --> 01:53:46.159 people live their lives, And so we saw the biggest spike and the highest 1309 01:53:46.239 --> 01:53:51.840 levels of depression, anxiety, loneliness, and suicidality since records have ever been 1310 01:53:51.920 --> 01:53:58.840 kept. And it's just continued on and on and on, and then COVID 1311 01:53:58.920 --> 01:54:03.560 hits ten years later. And the same agencies that knew that are the agencies 1312 01:54:03.560 --> 01:54:09.760 that shut down the schools for two years. Who does that? Who takes 1313 01:54:09.800 --> 01:54:13.640 away the support system for these children? Who takes them away to shut it 1314 01:54:13.680 --> 01:54:16.760 down? And by the way, when they shut it down, they stopped 1315 01:54:16.800 --> 01:54:21.239 the mandated reporters from being able to see children that were being abused and sexually 1316 01:54:21.279 --> 01:54:26.960 molested and in fact sent them home and abandoned them to their abusers with no 1317 01:54:27.000 --> 01:54:30.560 way to watch. ANNE referrals drop fifty to sixty percent. So it's also 1318 01:54:30.560 --> 01:54:33.119 Bill Denbeah. They were trying to say they were trying to save kids' lives. 1319 01:54:33.239 --> 01:54:38.279 Remember, we know a lot of folks who died during this. It 1320 01:54:38.359 --> 01:54:41.520 was New or Land around each opon. But well, you know what, 1321 01:54:41.680 --> 01:54:45.359 we're lucky. Maybe we're lucky they didn't because we kept them out of the 1322 01:54:46.239 --> 01:54:49.960 places that they could be sick. Because no one wants to believe we had 1323 01:54:50.000 --> 01:54:54.640 an issue. Are you saying no school children died of COVID. I'm saying 1324 01:54:54.680 --> 01:55:00.279 it was the safest group. They were the less vulnerable group, and they 1325 01:55:00.319 --> 01:55:05.000 suffered and will suffer more from the mismanagement of COVID than they will from the 1326 01:55:05.079 --> 01:55:11.159 exposure to COVID. And that's not an opinion, that's a fact. Well, 1327 01:55:11.760 --> 01:55:14.119 yeah, they all know that's a fact. As a matter of fact, 1328 01:55:14.319 --> 01:55:16.119 that was a whole narrative. Don't they remember what the original narrative was. 1329 01:55:16.399 --> 01:55:18.560 It was all the old people. We got to protect the old people. 1330 01:55:18.600 --> 01:55:23.359 As a matter of facts, that was the key signal that this was 1331 01:55:23.399 --> 01:55:26.439 not some kind of a pandemic or a disease that was going around because it 1332 01:55:26.479 --> 01:55:30.720 was heavily skewed. It looked exactly like the actual old tables of life expectancy. 1333 01:55:30.239 --> 01:55:33.279 It was always the old people, with people who were at or above 1334 01:55:33.399 --> 01:55:36.640 life expectancy, who had two and a half comorbidities. We had two weeks 1335 01:55:36.720 --> 01:55:40.760 worth of data from Italy. They kept talking about that, Oh, we 1336 01:55:40.840 --> 01:55:42.960 got to vaccinate the old people. Give it to the old people first. 1337 01:55:43.000 --> 01:55:45.039 Remember all that the last people. They gave it to were the kids. 1338 01:55:45.079 --> 01:55:50.560 They're saying that was to save their lives. No, no, they never 1339 01:55:50.760 --> 01:55:56.880 even tried to come up with a lying narrative to make that. That wasn't 1340 01:55:56.920 --> 01:56:00.560 even a part of their lying narrative. Excess deaths, so we pointed out, 1341 01:56:00.600 --> 01:56:03.399 were because of what was being done by the hospitals to people. It 1342 01:56:03.439 --> 01:56:06.560 wasn't because there was any pandemic. But you notice how they turned. They 1343 01:56:06.600 --> 01:56:13.760 were all with him. We talked about this plague of loneliness, this isolation 1344 01:56:13.840 --> 01:56:15.680 that had been set there. But then when he talks about how the actions 1345 01:56:15.680 --> 01:56:19.119 of Trump and Biden made it worse. Oh well, wait a minute. 1346 01:56:19.159 --> 01:56:24.560 Now we're talking about COVID. These people are my sponsors, right, there's 1347 01:56:24.800 --> 01:56:27.479 general thing. Oh yeah, this whole thing. They're just you know, 1348 01:56:27.680 --> 01:56:31.000 kind of setting home and playing with their phone and disconnected from the world. 1349 01:56:31.079 --> 01:56:36.520 Well, that's safe for them. But as soon as he starts talking about 1350 01:56:36.760 --> 01:56:42.199 their sponsors, the pharmaceutical industry, the politicians, and the rest is oh 1351 01:56:42.279 --> 01:56:45.079 no, no, no, Now, we're not going to allow him to 1352 01:56:45.119 --> 01:56:53.039 say anything about that. So he says, Then COVID hits ten years later 1353 01:56:53.039 --> 01:56:56.319 in the same agencies that knew that they're the agency shut down the school for 1354 01:56:56.319 --> 01:56:59.159 two years. Who does that? Who takes away a support system for these 1355 01:56:59.239 --> 01:57:04.399 kids? Well, again, this was about their sponsors who are paying their 1356 01:57:04.760 --> 01:57:11.119 checks. So she says, they're trying to save kids' lives. No, 1357 01:57:11.199 --> 01:57:15.560 they weren't. That was never That wasn't the lie, Whippie, you got 1358 01:57:15.600 --> 01:57:17.560 another lie replacing the other lies. And we've got Fauci now, and I'll 1359 01:57:17.560 --> 01:57:20.680 get to this in a moment. We've got Vauci saying, well, you 1360 01:57:20.680 --> 01:57:24.439 know, maybe these mRNA vaccines are not what we need to be doing for 1361 01:57:24.479 --> 01:57:30.199 a respiratory disease. Huh. Really, well, you know, maybe ventilators 1362 01:57:30.239 --> 01:57:32.800 aren't what you're supposed to do either, because you never did that either. 1363 01:57:32.880 --> 01:57:39.119 You kill people your ventilators to kick off and to prepare the way for your 1364 01:57:39.359 --> 01:57:43.880 mass murder injections. So he says, now, I'm saying it was the 1365 01:57:43.920 --> 01:57:47.239 safest group, they were less vulnerable group, and they suffered and will suffer 1366 01:57:47.279 --> 01:57:51.640 more from the mismanagement of COVID than they will from the exposure to COVID. 1367 01:57:51.800 --> 01:57:57.319 That's not an opinion, that's a fact. And you heard the audience break 1368 01:57:57.359 --> 01:58:02.479 into applause. Well, we've had the COVID vaccine mandate has been ruled unlawful 1369 01:58:02.520 --> 01:58:09.640 by the Supreme Court by a Supreme court in Australia. This is the Queensland 1370 01:58:09.680 --> 01:58:15.479 Supreme Court. They had vaccine mandates for police and for ambulance workers. They 1371 01:58:15.560 --> 01:58:19.640 declared this to be unlawful. In a landmark Supreme Court ruling this week and 1372 01:58:19.720 --> 01:58:27.159 decision handed down on Tuesday, the Queensland support Supreme Court found that the Police 1373 01:58:27.159 --> 01:58:33.720 Commissioner and his direction for I'm sorry woman A Caterina's direction for mandatory COVID vaccination, 1374 01:58:34.319 --> 01:58:41.399 issued in December of twenty twenty one, was unlawful under the Human Rights 1375 01:58:41.399 --> 01:58:45.760 Act. Is it interesting how they're all on the same page, the same 1376 01:58:45.800 --> 01:58:47.319 time frame and everything. They missed it maybe by one or two months, 1377 01:58:47.359 --> 01:58:54.720 but they're all doing the same things at the same time. A similar COVID 1378 01:58:54.960 --> 01:59:00.359 vaccination mandate ordered by the Director of General of Queensland Health at the same time 1379 01:59:00.560 --> 01:59:06.239 was determined to be of no effect, with the enforcement of both mandates and 1380 01:59:06.279 --> 01:59:12.560 any related disciplinary actions to be banned. They said in the court decision that 1381 01:59:12.600 --> 01:59:16.079 the Police Commissioner did not consider the human rights ramification. You know, things 1382 01:59:16.159 --> 01:59:25.000 like informed consent and stuff like that. Those old fashioned ideas. Excuse me. 1383 01:59:26.479 --> 01:59:31.800 However, a human rights lawyer said that there was an ominous caveat about 1384 01:59:31.840 --> 01:59:36.199 all of this. He said they won because the commissioner did not appropriately consider 1385 01:59:36.239 --> 01:59:42.399 the human rights advice that she received. However, the court also found that 1386 01:59:42.560 --> 01:59:46.399 although each of the directions limited the worker's right to full, free and informed 1387 01:59:46.520 --> 01:59:54.560 consent under Section seventeen of the Human Rights Act, the limit was reasonable in 1388 01:59:54.600 --> 02:00:00.159 all of the circumstances. So if the commissioner could approve that she had considered 1389 02:00:00.319 --> 02:00:06.399 the advice that she received regarding human rights, her workplace vaccination directors would likely 1390 02:00:06.439 --> 02:00:12.680 have been considered to be lawful even if she ignored those. So what they're 1391 02:00:12.720 --> 02:00:16.319 saying is you didn't even pay attention when people said, hey, you need 1392 02:00:16.359 --> 02:00:20.920 to consider the human rights, which said I don't care. But if she 1393 02:00:20.960 --> 02:00:23.760 had looked at it and said, well, I've looked at that, and 1394 02:00:23.800 --> 02:00:26.439 i've considered that, and I'm going to do this anyway because I don't really 1395 02:00:26.479 --> 02:00:29.520 care what your human rights are, well, then the court would have said, 1396 02:00:29.520 --> 02:00:33.439 oh, well that's okay. Then this is where we are. This 1397 02:00:33.479 --> 02:00:36.800 is where throughout Western society, where you're talking about Australia or America, or 1398 02:00:36.800 --> 02:00:42.159 Canada, Europe or anything. This is where we are. They really don't 1399 02:00:42.199 --> 02:00:45.920 care about the principles of human rights, they don't care about informed consent. 1400 02:00:47.239 --> 02:00:50.760 They feel that they're free to do whatever they wish to us. As a 1401 02:00:50.760 --> 02:00:57.880 matter of fact, this is about ambulance drivers and police officers, but nurses 1402 02:00:57.960 --> 02:01:02.520 and doctors are still subject to them and to disciplinary action if they don't get 1403 02:01:02.600 --> 02:01:09.279 vaccinated. While the Queensland Police and Ambulance Services are now prohibited from enforcing COVID 1404 02:01:09.359 --> 02:01:15.880 vaccine mandates, the mandates remain in place for some nurses, midwives and doctors. 1405 02:01:16.680 --> 02:01:24.239 It's just absolutely amazing to me and embedded in this article as a video. 1406 02:01:24.600 --> 02:01:30.479 I'm seven months pregnant. A Queensland nurse is fired for refusing a COVID 1407 02:01:30.720 --> 02:01:39.119 JAB an untested vaccine, even when she is seven months pregnant. Well, 1408 02:01:39.199 --> 02:01:44.079 you know, Faucci has backed off of the vaccine. Fauci says vaccines are 1409 02:01:44.119 --> 02:01:47.079 not a good strategy to control respiratory viruses. Yes, he actually said this. 1410 02:01:47.159 --> 02:01:54.479 Can you believe it? This guy will say anything, yeah, well, 1411 02:01:54.600 --> 02:01:57.399 masks are not good and then he says, no, you gotta wear 1412 02:01:57.399 --> 02:01:59.720 a mask. Now you gotta wear two or three masks and all the rest 1413 02:01:59.720 --> 02:02:04.399 of the stuff. Social He's changed his position on everything, and now he 1414 02:02:04.479 --> 02:02:09.520 can read the writing on the wall, and he is pulling back against the 1415 02:02:09.600 --> 02:02:15.000 vaccines, and he's even talking about the Lablik very why because that gives him 1416 02:02:15.840 --> 02:02:20.159 cover. I think that he realizes that people are onto this game. And 1417 02:02:20.199 --> 02:02:23.760 even though he is very old, none of these people ever think they're going 1418 02:02:23.800 --> 02:02:27.960 to die. That's why you got people like Mitch McConnell and Dianne Feinstein, 1419 02:02:28.079 --> 02:02:32.119 Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden and Donald Trump keep running for office into their seventies, 1420 02:02:32.119 --> 02:02:34.600 into their eighties, and some of them are in good health. Others, 1421 02:02:34.640 --> 02:02:38.960 even though they're in very very poor health, they continue to run. 1422 02:02:39.560 --> 02:02:44.079 And so even though Fauci is getting older, he's still in very good shape. 1423 02:02:45.479 --> 02:02:48.239 And maybe he's worrying that there could be a jail cell in his future. 1424 02:02:48.279 --> 02:02:50.800 There certainly should be. So he's going to distance himself now from the 1425 02:02:50.840 --> 02:02:55.560 vaccines. It's like, well, you know, I got mistakes were made. 1426 02:02:55.600 --> 02:03:02.479 You know I've corrected the mistakes now. And so he said that this 1427 02:03:02.640 --> 02:03:09.239 report going back to twenty twenty three January twenty twenty three, Fauci and two 1428 02:03:09.279 --> 02:03:15.720 colleagues outlined their concerns in the interplay between respiratory viruses and the human immune system 1429 02:03:15.439 --> 02:03:21.640 under systemic infections. They claim respiratory viruses primarily replicate in the mucosal linings of 1430 02:03:21.640 --> 02:03:29.520 the airways, posing unique challenges for vaccine induced immunity. This, of course, 1431 02:03:29.600 --> 02:03:33.119 as a writer, is not true. According to their theory of viruses. 1432 02:03:33.840 --> 02:03:38.159 It replicates in any cell with an H two receptor and the high esticity 1433 02:03:38.319 --> 02:03:42.319 a virus detected in the lining of the gut. But we'll move on from 1434 02:03:42.359 --> 02:03:47.239 Fauci's inability to grasp the full scientific literature. Again, he has done a 1435 02:03:47.439 --> 02:03:55.039 one to eighty degree turn from previous statements and from the public health strategies, 1436 02:03:55.319 --> 02:03:59.920 the demands, the mandates, the bribe breed, the blackmail, that we 1437 02:04:00.000 --> 02:04:03.399 relied on mRNA technology. And so they point out, they said, well, 1438 02:04:03.439 --> 02:04:08.640 there's three different aspects of this report, and I'll just I won't go 1439 02:04:08.680 --> 02:04:14.159 into the details of it, but mucosal versus systemic community number two, durability 1440 02:04:14.159 --> 02:04:17.840 of protection number three, immune imprinting. And so he says, yeah, 1441 02:04:17.880 --> 02:04:21.119 in all these different areas, it's just maybe it's not a good fit. 1442 02:04:21.680 --> 02:04:26.640 In multiple areas, he says, it's like, how could you've gotten this 1443 02:04:26.720 --> 02:04:31.439 wrong? The writer, and this is from popular rationalism, says, pardon 1444 02:04:31.479 --> 02:04:36.920 me while I duct tape my head to keep it from exploding. So it 1445 02:04:36.920 --> 02:04:43.399 concludes an ongoing research and development and vaccine technology is the answer. So you 1446 02:04:43.399 --> 02:04:45.439 know, even though this didn't work, oh, we got to do more 1447 02:04:45.479 --> 02:04:50.439 of it. Right. This is always the case. Whenever they do something, 1448 02:04:50.479 --> 02:04:56.880 they will not admit to a mistake. If they say that the mission 1449 02:04:56.920 --> 02:04:59.520 failed somehow, well that just means that we need to do more of what 1450 02:04:59.560 --> 02:05:00.760 I was doing, and we need to have more staff, and on and 1451 02:05:00.800 --> 02:05:08.199 on. Meanwhile, a CDC panel is investigating whether the new RSV vaccine made 1452 02:05:08.199 --> 02:05:15.239 by Pfizer is causing gion brace syndrome. Daily Mail points out, it's rare. 1453 02:05:15.560 --> 02:05:23.199 It's rare, right, that's their excuse. Well, again, it 1454 02:05:23.399 --> 02:05:28.359 used to not matter if it was rare. We had nine states outlaw the 1455 02:05:28.680 --> 02:05:34.119 swine flu vaccine back in the nineteen seventies because of a couple of deaths and 1456 02:05:34.159 --> 02:05:39.239 because people were getting gion brace syndrome. That was the problem. With a 1457 02:05:39.239 --> 02:05:42.800 woman that was interviewed by Mike Wallace, she had gym brace syndrome and it 1458 02:05:42.840 --> 02:05:46.079 paralyzed her. She was working to get back some limited mobility and to be 1459 02:05:46.079 --> 02:05:50.960 able to walk with braces and crutches and stuff like that. But you know, 1460 02:05:51.039 --> 02:05:57.560 it was very rare, but they still stopped it. And just like 1461 02:05:57.600 --> 02:06:01.880 we talked about the blowing seven thirty seven max, they had two crashes out 1462 02:06:01.880 --> 02:06:09.079 of twenty five hundred crashes I think it was it was thousands of crashes, 1463 02:06:09.720 --> 02:06:14.720 and they want to say that, you know, even though everybody died on 1464 02:06:14.760 --> 02:06:16.000 these two planes, they didn't just say, well, it was rare. 1465 02:06:16.159 --> 02:06:19.439 We're going to keep going. I'm thinking maybe it was more than that. 1466 02:06:19.479 --> 02:06:27.359 I'm trying to remember that number. But anyway, the inquiry was based on 1467 02:06:27.520 --> 02:06:32.760 about two dozen cases of guillam beret and people over sixty who got the vaccine, 1468 02:06:33.920 --> 02:06:38.199 and it was supposedly nine and a half million people who got the vaccine 1469 02:06:38.239 --> 02:06:41.039 over sixty, or a couple of dozen cases of this. But this is 1470 02:06:41.079 --> 02:06:43.520 the type of thing that they would have pulled it from the market completely. 1471 02:06:43.560 --> 02:06:45.640 Now they make an excuse, well it was rare. We'll look at it 1472 02:06:45.640 --> 02:06:49.039 a little bit more closely, but we're not going to stop anything. It 1473 02:06:49.079 --> 02:06:54.800 was higher than expected. Officials are gathering more information to determine whether the vaccines 1474 02:06:54.800 --> 02:06:58.720 are causing the problem. You know, maybe if we hadn't stopped doing testing 1475 02:06:58.720 --> 02:07:02.319 of vaccines because of Trump's warp speed stuff, and that that's become another precedent, 1476 02:07:02.680 --> 02:07:06.039 just like gun control by executive or do we have products without even doing 1477 02:07:06.079 --> 02:07:14.640 any testing. So now that's become the norm. We are going to whenever 1478 02:07:14.680 --> 02:07:19.880 this happens, we are going to have to just put up with it. 1479 02:07:20.439 --> 02:07:25.479 We don't really care, you know, when you look at what are they 1480 02:07:25.520 --> 02:07:29.079 gaining? You know, RSV, that's something that's been around for a very 1481 02:07:29.119 --> 02:07:32.000 very long time. People die from flu, people die from coals, they 1482 02:07:32.000 --> 02:07:35.960 die from respiratory diseases. But what do they say, rare, rare, 1483 02:07:38.800 --> 02:07:42.359 And it's more people dying from that than die from measles, for example. 1484 02:07:42.399 --> 02:07:46.760 But they're very you know, focused on the measles vaccine out of all proportions. 1485 02:07:46.920 --> 02:07:50.520 But just think about this. Would you rather take your chances with a 1486 02:07:50.600 --> 02:07:55.319 temporary cold or flu or RSV or something like that, or would you rather 1487 02:07:55.359 --> 02:08:01.800 take a chance that you're going to be paralyzed and perhaps permanently paralllened because some 1488 02:08:01.840 --> 02:08:07.520 of these people are That's where informed consent comes in. You should be able 1489 02:08:07.560 --> 02:08:13.359 to make that decision, not somebody else. Doctors confirm a vaccine connection after 1490 02:08:13.399 --> 02:08:20.119 a young Ontario woman is paralyzed following a MODERNA shot. What was their solution? 1491 02:08:22.319 --> 02:08:26.239 They offered her euthanasia. We'll kill you. How about that put you 1492 02:08:26.239 --> 02:08:28.880 out of your misery. Yeah, it was from the vaccine. It was 1493 02:08:28.880 --> 02:08:33.880 from the Trump shot. We don't really have anything we could do other than 1494 02:08:33.960 --> 02:08:37.359 kill Youas to kill you, A young mother's life has been turned upside down 1495 02:08:37.399 --> 02:08:43.960 the wake of receiving her MODERNA trump shot. It was a booster She's thirty 1496 02:08:43.000 --> 02:08:48.800 seven years old. She had her life turned upside down as a mother. 1497 02:08:48.319 --> 02:08:52.840 She received the booster shot on January the eleventh, twenty twenty two. She 1498 02:08:52.880 --> 02:08:58.479 began experiencing alarming symptoms, culminating in her complete paralysis. Less than two weeks 1499 02:08:58.560 --> 02:09:07.279 later. Despite the initial skepticism from emergency department staff, an MRII revealed a 1500 02:09:07.399 --> 02:09:15.159 significant lesion on her spinal cord. A neurologist documented on an audio recording expressed 1501 02:09:15.199 --> 02:09:18.079 his belief that the vaccine was a likely cause of her condition, a view 1502 02:09:18.119 --> 02:09:26.840 that was later confirmed with the diagnosis of transverse mayolitis, a rare inflammatory disorder 1503 02:09:26.920 --> 02:09:31.520 caused by damage to the spinal cord, documented to be one of the known 1504 02:09:31.600 --> 02:09:39.439 symptoms of this vaccine, and so their response was to offer her made medical 1505 02:09:39.479 --> 02:09:46.039 assistance in dying, and she refused. Her condition has resulted in the loss 1506 02:09:46.039 --> 02:09:48.760 of her job, her home, and her ability to co parent her son, 1507 02:09:48.319 --> 02:09:56.039 reducing her to reliance on provincial disability support and the assistance of care workers 1508 02:09:56.039 --> 02:10:01.520 for her daily needs. A group of Veterans for Freedom set up a send 1509 02:10:01.720 --> 02:10:05.119 go campaign to raise fund so that she can get a service dog. They 1510 02:10:05.159 --> 02:10:09.039 said that would not only help her with a daily task, will help to 1511 02:10:09.119 --> 02:10:16.000 give her companionship, which she greatly needs. So just mentioned that you can 1512 02:10:16.000 --> 02:10:22.439 find that article at Gateway Pundit where you can find that link to the donation. 1513 02:10:24.560 --> 02:10:30.279 Then another woman now she can't have children again. This is another one 1514 02:10:30.319 --> 02:10:33.359 of these shots. This is somebody who was featured and Senator Ron Johnson who 1515 02:10:33.520 --> 02:10:39.760 is holding hearings trying to give a voice to the people who've been injured by 1516 02:10:39.760 --> 02:10:46.039 these Trump shots. And the husband says, somebody needs to make them pay. 1517 02:10:46.840 --> 02:10:48.920 Who needs to be punished for this? Who needs to pay for this? 1518 02:10:50.399 --> 02:10:56.439 Advisor moderna Trump Biden fauci. You think they're going to any of them 1519 02:10:56.439 --> 02:11:03.000 are going to pay for any of this stuff. So she's thirty six years 1520 02:11:03.000 --> 02:11:05.760 old, heresident said, she chose a career, got the baby family bug, 1521 02:11:05.840 --> 02:11:09.199 and now she can't have children because of the vaccine. She cries all 1522 02:11:09.239 --> 02:11:13.840 the time. She apologizes to me like it's her fault. But it's not 1523 02:11:13.880 --> 02:11:18.239 her fault, he says. Somebody needs to make them pay. We need 1524 02:11:18.520 --> 02:11:26.079 safe guards so that this doesn't happen again. Johnson's forum is titled Federal Health 1525 02:11:26.119 --> 02:11:33.079 Agencies and the COVID Cartel. What Are They Hiding? Featured a roundtable discussion 1526 02:11:33.119 --> 02:11:39.920 including twenty two testimonials from scientists, medical doctors, former government officials, and 1527 02:11:39.279 --> 02:11:45.479 journalists about what they said were problems with the vaccines and government efforts to censor 1528 02:11:45.640 --> 02:11:50.840 the dangers. Well, the problem is is that you know they're not only 1529 02:11:50.920 --> 02:11:58.720 censoring the dangers, but you've got this boasting narcissist Trump who is telling everybody 1530 02:11:58.720 --> 02:12:03.560 that he saved millions of lives and how this is one of the greatest things 1531 02:12:03.600 --> 02:12:07.159 ever invented by man and Biden is essentially the same way. That's why I 1532 02:12:07.159 --> 02:12:11.239 say they got blood on their hands. The people who are conservative journalists who 1533 02:12:11.239 --> 02:12:15.199 are supporting, and people like Wayne Allen Root telling everybody that Trump is a 1534 02:12:15.319 --> 02:12:20.840 miracle, He's a gift from God. You know, He's the suffering servant, 1535 02:12:20.880 --> 02:12:24.960 God's anointed chosen one. And all the rest of this garbage was telling 1536 02:12:26.840 --> 02:12:30.880 this miraculous, suffering servant chosen by God. He's telling him. Shut up. 1537 02:12:30.920 --> 02:12:35.920 Everybody knows your stuff is poison Stop bragging about poisoning everybody. Messiah, 1538 02:12:37.119 --> 02:12:41.319 Well, you talk about a cult of suicidal kool aid. That's what the 1539 02:12:41.359 --> 02:12:45.279 people like Wayne Allen rooton, Alex Jones and all the rest of these people. 1540 02:12:45.359 --> 02:12:48.239 Oh, it's just sugar water. Take it. Take it. Well, 1541 02:12:48.239 --> 02:12:52.680 look at what happened to these people, the cover ups, including both 1542 02:12:52.720 --> 02:12:56.319 the origins of COVID nineteen and China. See, this is part of the 1543 02:12:56.359 --> 02:13:03.600 problem, this lab lie. If you're in Congress, where are the bills 1544 02:13:03.640 --> 02:13:09.680 being offered, even by Senator Johnson or by Ram Paul who loved to harangue 1545 02:13:09.840 --> 02:13:13.079 Fauci over the gain of function stuff, especially in China. Why don't they 1546 02:13:13.079 --> 02:13:18.079 offer some legislation to shut this thing down. They did shut it down legally 1547 02:13:18.119 --> 02:13:24.039 in twenty fourteen. They told Francis Collins, who was Fauci's boss. They 1548 02:13:24.079 --> 02:13:28.399 told Collins and Fauci, stop it. We've had a lot of accidents, 1549 02:13:28.800 --> 02:13:31.720 We've had a lot of sick animals released out into the wild. You're going 1550 02:13:31.800 --> 02:13:35.399 to get people sick with this stuff. We've had accidents where people have been 1551 02:13:35.439 --> 02:13:41.119 exposed in these labs to highly toxic diseases. Stop it. And then they 1552 02:13:41.119 --> 02:13:46.920 continued it. Francis Collins said when he released the research from the University of 1553 02:13:46.920 --> 02:13:50.439 North Carolina Chapel Hill a couple of years after they had told him to stop 1554 02:13:50.479 --> 02:13:54.479 it, he said, well, and he was criticized by scientists in the 1555 02:13:54.479 --> 02:13:56.600 industry for doing that. They said, there's no reason to do this. 1556 02:13:56.720 --> 02:14:01.600 Nothing good can come of any of this stuff. And it's more and it's 1557 02:14:01.680 --> 02:14:03.560 dangerous. It's not just a waste of money. It's dangerous what you're doing. 1558 02:14:05.600 --> 02:14:07.159 They said, well, I made the determination myself that we're going to 1559 02:14:07.199 --> 02:14:13.000 continue with this. Francis Collins, head of the NIH, head of Fauci, 1560 02:14:13.840 --> 02:14:18.680 and Fauci decided they didn't really care what Congress said. But see, 1561 02:14:18.680 --> 02:14:22.800 Congress is not even trying at this point in time, they're not even trying 1562 02:14:22.840 --> 02:14:26.760 to stop this and that's a big red flag, isn't it when these people 1563 02:14:26.880 --> 02:14:31.159 keep talking about lab leaks and how dangerous all this stuff is. It just 1564 02:14:31.199 --> 02:14:39.000 happened in Kenada as well. You had Pollie, the conservative guy I can't 1565 02:14:39.039 --> 02:14:45.279 pronounce his name, Pierre Paulaver or something like that. He was out there 1566 02:14:45.279 --> 02:14:48.239 talking. First thing he talks about are these gain of function labs and everything. 1567 02:14:48.560 --> 02:14:52.960 These people are laying out, as I said yesterday, they're laying out 1568 02:14:52.960 --> 02:14:56.600 an alibi for people like Fauci and Trump and Biden. And then they're laying 1569 02:14:56.880 --> 02:15:01.319 down the expectation that there's going to be some disease X, some major pandemic 1570 02:15:01.359 --> 02:15:05.039 and this Enheim it could be real. And we're told by people like Alex 1571 02:15:05.119 --> 02:15:09.000 Jones and Gateway Pundit and all that that it was real when it came around 1572 02:15:09.000 --> 02:15:16.319 the first time. They were all saying that this lab league stuff is a 1573 02:15:16.439 --> 02:15:22.359 dangerous misdirection, it's an alibi, and it's preparing the path for this to 1574 02:15:22.359 --> 02:15:26.479 be done again. So CDC is telling people sixty five and older to take 1575 02:15:26.600 --> 02:15:31.800 more COVID booster shots. Less than forty two percent of adults aged sixty five 1576 02:15:31.840 --> 02:15:39.920 and above have taken the updated COVID nineteen vaccines. Well, that's good news. 1577 02:15:41.119 --> 02:15:43.239 People are starting to catch on to these lives. That means that fifty 1578 02:15:43.279 --> 02:15:50.000 eight percent, almost sixty percent of the people have caught on to these lies. 1579 02:15:50.800 --> 02:15:52.880 Even Fauci is pulling back and saying, well, maybe that's not the 1580 02:15:52.960 --> 02:15:58.640 right thing to do, and yet the CDC pushes on. Even Fauci is 1581 02:15:58.680 --> 02:16:05.079 pulling back, and yet the CDC says continue. The West Virginia House has 1582 02:16:05.159 --> 02:16:13.039 now passed a bill to allow religious exemption for students who are the universities are 1583 02:16:13.119 --> 02:16:24.119 giving them these these vaccine mandates. And so it's uh. And there's a 1584 02:16:24.159 --> 02:16:28.960 tremendous number of universities that are still mandating these vaccines and still mandating boosters. 1585 02:16:30.239 --> 02:16:37.079 It's just amazing. And the media is freaking out still about measles in Florida. 1586 02:16:37.719 --> 02:16:43.840 This headline with ten measle cases in Florida, state health officials failed to 1587 02:16:43.920 --> 02:16:46.760 provide information. Oh ten cases, Well, you know, quite frankly, 1588 02:16:48.000 --> 02:16:50.280 that's more than they had when they started declaring a global pandemic, isn't it. 1589 02:16:52.360 --> 02:16:56.600 They didn't have that many cases when alex Azar declared a pandemic and started 1590 02:16:56.600 --> 02:17:01.440 this whole ball rolling. They didn't have that. They didn't have anybody dying 1591 02:17:01.520 --> 02:17:07.639 when Trump did his March Friday, the thirteenth executive order, So they're really 1592 02:17:07.639 --> 02:17:16.239 on them about measles and so Ladipoe, the Surgeon General of Florida Desantus's Pick, 1593 02:17:18.280 --> 02:17:22.000 was telling parents at Manite Bay and Weston that the decision whether to keep 1594 02:17:22.040 --> 02:17:24.280 their children home was up to them. Can you imagine that? How in 1595 02:17:24.319 --> 02:17:30.399 the world could you have a government official telling people telling parents that they can 1596 02:17:30.479 --> 02:17:37.879 have an informed decision about what their children do. Again, this is no 1597 02:17:37.200 --> 02:17:41.200 big deal, but they're freaking out. Florida health officials have not been forthcoming 1598 02:17:41.200 --> 02:17:46.840 with information about the diseases spread. Guess what somebody needs to tell this bed 1599 02:17:46.840 --> 02:17:52.000 wedding press that nobody has died. They need to tell them that there's many 1600 02:17:52.040 --> 02:17:56.319 of us who are alive whose parents used to send us for sleepovers so we 1601 02:17:56.319 --> 02:18:01.079 could get done with these childhood diseases when they were going around and we got 1602 02:18:01.159 --> 02:18:05.799 lifetime immunity from him. So let me just finish up with this. How 1603 02:18:05.239 --> 02:18:13.440 modern medicine dehumanizes this by doctor David Bell. He said a close friend died 1604 02:18:13.479 --> 02:18:18.479 recently of a rare and aggressive cancer from diagnosis. He had several months of 1605 02:18:18.559 --> 02:18:22.079 generally positive life foo a difficult time. He maintained a sense of humor, 1606 02:18:22.120 --> 02:18:26.559 a rational view of the world, and loyalty to friends. He'd always been 1607 02:18:26.799 --> 02:18:30.680 good at seeing things that others didn't and so forth. But he says his 1608 02:18:30.799 --> 02:18:35.280 cancer was treated in the modern way. So there was a team that specialized 1609 02:18:35.319 --> 02:18:41.680 in radiating the cancer to shrink it. Another group specialized in poisoning cancer cells, 1610 02:18:41.719 --> 02:18:48.959 he said. But somewhere nobody ever was tasked with giving him any dietary 1611 02:18:48.000 --> 02:18:54.920 advice that seemed to fall through the cracks. Nobody's going to change anything about 1612 02:18:54.959 --> 02:18:58.120 that. Don't really care about what you eat, right, he said. 1613 02:18:58.120 --> 02:19:03.760 But to understand my or institutional palliative care, it is best to understand what 1614 02:19:03.799 --> 02:19:09.360 happened next after he's put into things got worse, and they put him into 1615 02:19:09.360 --> 02:19:11.399 palliative care, he said. Matt was placed in a room on the main 1616 02:19:11.399 --> 02:19:16.680 corridor near the nurse's desk. The door was left ajar so that he could 1617 02:19:16.719 --> 02:19:20.639 be observed. This room was painted gray. It had no windows, It 1618 02:19:20.680 --> 02:19:24.159 had no pictures on the wall. It had a couple of chairs and some 1619 02:19:24.239 --> 02:19:31.159 fixtures for oxygen, a basin, an antiseptic dispenser and a cupboard. Day 1620 02:19:31.200 --> 02:19:35.879 and night became irrelevant, as in any windowless cell. After some days, 1621 02:19:35.879 --> 02:19:39.680 Matt was said to be nonresponsive and may not be here for long, which 1622 02:19:39.719 --> 02:19:45.280 surprised us, as he had been quite stable and well oriented shortly before when 1623 02:19:45.280 --> 02:19:48.239 friends visited. He could talk, and he could interact, and he appreciated 1624 02:19:48.319 --> 02:19:50.680 visitors and he thanked them for coming. But later he would be reported to 1625 02:19:50.719 --> 02:19:56.079 have lapsed into unresponsiveness again, and this was confusing to those of us who 1626 02:19:56.159 --> 02:20:01.639 knew him. He said, over a momentultiple visits, a nurse came in 1627 02:20:03.040 --> 02:20:09.639 only with a syringe to inject what turned out to be his palliative care morphine 1628 02:20:11.440 --> 02:20:16.760 and medazlam. I'm starting to see this medaslam a lot, right. This 1629 02:20:16.120 --> 02:20:24.399 was the thing that Matt Hancock, this bureaucrat who had absolutely no medical experience 1630 02:20:24.440 --> 02:20:28.879 whatsoever, was pushing out to people hastening their death. They were talking about 1631 02:20:28.360 --> 02:20:35.760 using it as murder in the UK, and he upped it to many, 1632 02:20:35.799 --> 02:20:41.719 many times, what was it, six or eight times what they had been 1633 02:20:41.760 --> 02:20:46.479 consuming. I grabbed this stuff so they could hasten people's deaths. Medazlam, 1634 02:20:48.319 --> 02:20:52.360 he said, Morphine dulls the pain and the mind, and it suppresses breathing. 1635 02:20:54.040 --> 02:20:58.319 Medazlam reduces the ability to respond, so the recipient stops crying out for 1636 02:20:58.399 --> 02:21:03.479 help when he wets himself or is embarrassed about being naked or his thirsty. 1637 02:21:03.479 --> 02:21:05.200 He said. And when we went to see him, they had him just 1638 02:21:05.280 --> 02:21:09.079 laying there on the bed naked. Didn't even bother to put any covers on 1639 02:21:09.120 --> 02:21:13.520 it, he said. When staff were requested to withhold the midazlam, Matt 1640 02:21:13.559 --> 02:21:16.959 was able to converse with others, to express his needs and to answer questions. 1641 02:21:18.159 --> 02:21:20.639 Is this perhaps why Matt Hancock and the NHS in the UK. Is 1642 02:21:20.680 --> 02:21:28.719 that perhaps why they started with this massive amount of midaslon, another way to 1643 02:21:28.799 --> 02:21:33.799 keep people from complaining, to keep people from asking for help, just like 1644 02:21:33.840 --> 02:21:39.520 they took the families away so they couldn't do anything about it. Yeah, 1645 02:21:39.600 --> 02:21:46.479 I think so. Loan individuals seldom act in the systematically abusive and callous way 1646 02:21:46.479 --> 02:21:54.280 toward a stranger. When they do, we call them sociopaths or even psychopaths. 1647 02:21:54.879 --> 02:21:58.079 But he says, an institution that is made up of individuals can do 1648 02:21:58.120 --> 02:22:05.200 this. However, very we drown the call of conscience and empathy and group 1649 02:22:05.319 --> 02:22:09.719 think and routines. Just think of the Milgrim experiment for example. Oh well, 1650 02:22:09.920 --> 02:22:13.520 people in authority are telling me I need to do this. It's just 1651 02:22:13.520 --> 02:22:16.760 the way the machine works. Whether it's trainloads of people from the ghetto, 1652 02:22:16.840 --> 02:22:22.559 or whether it's corralled refugees or forgotten faces locked in a nursing home, we 1653 02:22:22.639 --> 02:22:30.760 receive permission to devalue others, not realizing that they are ourselves. In Western 1654 02:22:30.799 --> 02:22:35.479 medicine, it has allowed us to separate the tumor from the person, and 1655 02:22:35.559 --> 02:22:43.680 then, where necessary, we kill the person before death, making it all 1656 02:22:43.799 --> 02:22:50.159 so much less traumatic or intrusive on our own routines, so he says, 1657 02:22:50.159 --> 02:22:52.920 thanks to neighbors and friends who cared. Matt was returned home on a stretcher 1658 02:22:54.760 --> 02:22:58.559 with visits by a good community health team and support from friends. The medaslam 1659 02:22:58.639 --> 02:23:03.600 and the morphine, it turned out, had mainly served to help the institution 1660 02:23:03.440 --> 02:23:11.280 to function, preventing Matt from interrupting their routine, preventing them from having to 1661 02:23:11.440 --> 02:23:15.079 have human contact with him. Just drug him up so we don't have to 1662 02:23:15.120 --> 02:23:18.879 worry about it at home. He had human contact, He had music, 1663 02:23:18.920 --> 02:23:24.600 he had sunlight through a window, he had conversation that was natural rather than 1664 02:23:24.600 --> 02:23:28.520 an imposition. This might be a revelation to some people, especially in this 1665 02:23:28.639 --> 02:23:33.319 age and where we shut the elderly or the dying away from their family. 1666 02:23:33.360 --> 02:23:37.360 And not just in this age, but in this pandemic especially. You just 1667 02:23:37.440 --> 02:23:43.440 labeled somebody as COVID and they're gone, he said. Matt died a few 1668 02:23:43.520 --> 02:23:46.520 days at home. But when he died, he was not naked to passerbys 1669 02:23:46.559 --> 02:23:52.719 in a gray, windowless room on a urine soaked plasticized sheet. But he 1670 02:23:52.799 --> 02:23:58.040 was at home, surrounded by friends. He was still a person, a 1671 02:23:58.079 --> 02:24:05.079 wonderful one, despite all that progress could achieve. Yeah, that's what we 1672 02:24:05.200 --> 02:24:11.719 call medical progress. Right. Well, I said that was going to be 1673 02:24:11.760 --> 02:24:13.680 last thing. I've got one more thing I want to cover here, and 1674 02:24:13.719 --> 02:24:18.920 that is in Tennessee, there is a state bill that has been introduced to 1675 02:24:20.079 --> 02:24:24.959 label foods if they have a vaccine in them. And this was laughed off 1676 02:24:26.000 --> 02:24:28.639 when it was introduced by a Republican representative. It was laughed off by a 1677 02:24:28.680 --> 02:24:33.159 Democrat. You know, essentially, I, oh, you're some kind of 1678 02:24:33.159 --> 02:24:35.440 a paranoid conspiracy theorist. You think they're putting vaccines in the food. Well, 1679 02:24:35.479 --> 02:24:41.479 they've been talking about this for since twenty twenty one. University of California 1680 02:24:41.000 --> 02:24:48.079 said we can put vaccines in the food. Known as Tennessee House Bill eighteen 1681 02:24:48.159 --> 02:24:54.120 ninety four, it is known as the Lettuce Bill, a short one page 1682 02:24:54.200 --> 02:25:01.000 legislature that defines food that contains a vaccine or vaccine material as a drug for 1683 02:25:01.079 --> 02:25:05.520 the purposes of the Tennessee Food and Drugs Cosmetic Act. Now, this is 1684 02:25:05.639 --> 02:25:09.440 very interesting. Again, is very much like what we've just seen happening with 1685 02:25:09.520 --> 02:25:15.360 the geoengineering disclosure both in New Hampshire and also another bill here in Tennessee where 1686 02:25:15.360 --> 02:25:18.680 they said, if you're going to be spraying stuff into the atmosphere or in 1687 02:25:18.879 --> 02:25:22.520 water or anything, you better let us know. And if you don't and 1688 02:25:22.639 --> 02:25:26.360 we find out about it, we're going to give you some really heavy fines. 1689 02:25:28.360 --> 02:25:31.280 And so they define vaccine or vaccine material meaning a substance intended for use 1690 02:25:31.680 --> 02:25:37.520 in humans to stimulate the production of antibodies and to provide immunity against disease, 1691 02:25:37.239 --> 02:25:43.360 prepared from the causative agent of the disease, its products, or asynthetic substitute 1692 02:25:43.360 --> 02:25:48.200 that would be the mRNA type right treated to act as an antigen without inducing 1693 02:25:48.239 --> 02:25:52.680 the disease that is authorized or approved by the United States Food and Drug Association. 1694 02:25:54.479 --> 02:25:58.319 During the hearing, the Republican who introduced this, his name is Sepechy. 1695 02:25:58.399 --> 02:26:03.280 I think see picky. I'm not sure how he pronounced that. He 1696 02:26:03.319 --> 02:26:07.639 said. What I'm saying here is that there's no law deeming those that when 1697 02:26:07.680 --> 02:26:11.840 you go into a grocery store, you should know as a consumer that this 1698 02:26:11.920 --> 02:26:16.319 head of lettuce is ahead of lettuce, and the head of lettuce right next 1699 02:26:16.319 --> 02:26:20.239 to it could contain a vaccine in it. And what we're saying is, 1700 02:26:20.719 --> 02:26:22.959 if it does have the vaccine in it, make sure it's listed as a 1701 02:26:22.959 --> 02:26:26.440 pharmaceutical so that people can get the proper dosage. That's all he's asking for. 1702 02:26:26.959 --> 02:26:30.799 And that's why I said this is interesting. From another number of standpoints, 1703 02:26:30.799 --> 02:26:33.879 you're starting to get bills introduced. These people are laughing at all. 1704 02:26:33.000 --> 02:26:37.959 Oh, that's a bunch of conspiracy theory. But people know stuff is being 1705 02:26:37.959 --> 02:26:41.120 sprayed in the atmosphere. People know that the food is being deliberately contaminated. 1706 02:26:41.120 --> 02:26:45.680 They've been bragging about this. University has been bragging about it. Gates has 1707 02:26:45.680 --> 02:26:50.000 been bragging about it. You argue that researchers at the University of California. 1708 02:26:50.040 --> 02:26:54.280 You see, Davis and others have perfected the ability of genetically engineering foods to 1709 02:26:54.319 --> 02:26:58.920 have things such as mRNA and them, and therefore prompted him to introduce the 1710 02:26:58.959 --> 02:27:03.000 bill to get ahead of this before such food enters the market. The committee 1711 02:27:03.079 --> 02:27:11.159 chairman John Ray Clemens of Nashville found this to be humorous. Well, I 1712 02:27:11.159 --> 02:27:15.079 don't think that's allowed under state law presently. Are we going to have Walgreens 1713 02:27:15.120 --> 02:27:20.040 pharmacists with the refrigerator section? I mean, how is this thing going to 1714 02:27:20.120 --> 02:27:22.840 play out? Pretending to be stupid? Or maybe he really is just stupid, 1715 02:27:24.040 --> 02:27:26.479 right, Maybe he's just ignorant and uninformed. Maybe he's not stupid, 1716 02:27:26.520 --> 02:27:33.680 Maybe he just doesn't read much the sycopy Sippicky did. He said, this 1717 02:27:33.719 --> 02:27:37.959 is more of a consumer protection bill. It's mates to make sure that you're 1718 02:27:37.959 --> 02:27:43.000 going to buy tomatoes if there's a polio vaccine in there, that you're aware 1719 02:27:43.040 --> 02:27:46.200 of what you're buying is got a polio vaccine in it? He said. 1720 02:27:46.239 --> 02:27:52.799 The problem is here is that it's not treated as a pharmaceutical. He says, 1721 02:27:52.959 --> 02:27:56.239 the size and the difference, for example, between you and me. 1722 02:27:56.680 --> 02:27:58.360 He said, We're going to put a vaccine in a tomato. How many 1723 02:27:58.600 --> 02:28:03.319 tomato is do I have to eat to get the proper dosage versus how many 1724 02:28:03.360 --> 02:28:07.399 tomatoes you have to eat? If you eat too many, you get an 1725 02:28:07.399 --> 02:28:09.760 overdose. This, folks, is the same argument I've made for years about 1726 02:28:09.760 --> 02:28:13.520 fluoride. Even before we talk about whether or not the vaccine is safe and 1727 02:28:13.559 --> 02:28:18.559 effective, Before we even talk about whether not fluoride is safe and effective, 1728 02:28:18.319 --> 02:28:24.040 the issue is dosage. How are you going to correct the dosage if you 1729 02:28:24.079 --> 02:28:26.920 put it in food? How are you going to correct the dosage if you 1730 02:28:26.920 --> 02:28:33.600 put the fluoride in water? Well, quite frankly, there isn't any medical 1731 02:28:33.000 --> 02:28:37.479 explanation for that. The only way that you can explain that is that they're 1732 02:28:37.479 --> 02:28:41.239 trying to do harm to people because they're either going to not give you a 1733 02:28:41.239 --> 02:28:46.680 sufficient dosage to handle whatever this is supposed to fix, or they're going to 1734 02:28:46.680 --> 02:28:50.479 give you too much, which in itself is very definition of a poison. 1735 02:28:52.440 --> 02:28:56.559 During all of this COVID vaccine stuff, a lot of people are pointing out, 1736 02:28:56.559 --> 02:29:01.360 I don't know if it was Australia or New Zealand, the farmmaceutical government 1737 02:29:01.399 --> 02:29:05.360 agencies actually called poisons, and it's kind of a you know, going back 1738 02:29:05.399 --> 02:29:09.440 to you know, potions and stuff like that. But any pharmaceutical drug is 1739 02:29:09.479 --> 02:29:13.680 a poison if you get too much of it. And so how do you 1740 02:29:13.680 --> 02:29:16.959 control the dosage? He says, if you eat too little like we had 1741 02:29:16.959 --> 02:29:22.760 in the cattle industry with a dosing our cattle properly, the hornflies were developing 1742 02:29:22.799 --> 02:29:26.319 an immunity to it. If we don't have the proper dosage of the vaccine, 1743 02:29:26.399 --> 02:29:31.479 it could lead to the efficacy of that drug not working anymore. So 1744 02:29:31.559 --> 02:29:35.360 you don't even have to talk about the harm that's being done. You don't 1745 02:29:35.360 --> 02:29:41.040 even talked about the safety of it. And got about overdose. You say, 1746 02:29:41.079 --> 02:29:41.920 well, what if we underdose, Well, then it's not going to 1747 02:29:41.920 --> 02:29:48.079 be effective. Right, And so this has been around since twenty twenty one, 1748 02:29:50.040 --> 02:29:54.200 three years ago. We'll be right back. Whether you're feeling like the 1749 02:29:54.239 --> 02:30:01.639 blue where or blue Grass ATS Radio has you covered, check out a wide 1750 02:30:01.719 --> 02:30:45.159 variety of channels on our app at APS radio dot com. In a world 1751 02:30:45.200 --> 02:30:50.000 of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. You're listening to the 1752 02:30:50.200 --> 02:30:56.040 David Knight Show. Well, let me take some of the emails we've had 1753 02:30:56.079 --> 02:31:01.280 recently, and I even have one that was Karen's this morning as I was 1754 02:31:01.159 --> 02:31:07.040 reading and it was about ask me anything, and they didn't get a chance 1755 02:31:07.079 --> 02:31:11.159 to ask me anything. So I've got an answer. Maybe for Matt. 1756 02:31:11.200 --> 02:31:13.840 I don't know. I haven't read it yet. We printed it out, 1757 02:31:15.520 --> 02:31:20.680 but anyway, this is from Chris. He says, I take a look 1758 02:31:20.680 --> 02:31:24.040 at what is happened in Ukraine, the Democrats, how they're funding their programs. 1759 02:31:24.159 --> 02:31:26.520 Actually I talked about this one yesterday, so let me skip this. 1760 02:31:26.879 --> 02:31:33.479 It was we were talking about Letitia James and how she was living very large 1761 02:31:33.559 --> 02:31:37.120 a life of luxury, which typically is what happens with these people. But 1762 02:31:37.520 --> 02:31:43.399 again marking some of these luxurious life you know, the life of the rich 1763 02:31:43.440 --> 02:31:48.200 and political. I guess where's Archibald Leech or the guy that had lifestyles of 1764 02:31:48.200 --> 02:31:52.440 the rich and famous. But at the same time she's doing all of that 1765 02:31:54.040 --> 02:31:56.520 she has and I don't think I got to through this talking about this. 1766 02:31:58.319 --> 02:32:05.319 She goes to war against JBS Foods, a big producer of beef, because 1767 02:32:05.360 --> 02:32:09.959 they got to stop meat. Right. She is doing everything she can to 1768 02:32:09.120 --> 02:32:15.319 endear herself to the people who are pushing these agendas. The globalist agendas so 1769 02:32:15.360 --> 02:32:18.159 that she can run for higher office. She said. The beef industry is 1770 02:32:18.200 --> 02:32:20.920 one of the largest contributors to climate change, and they have falsely advertised their 1771 02:32:20.920 --> 02:32:26.959 commitment to sustainability and endangered our planet. Well, maybe they shouldn't have bragged 1772 02:32:26.959 --> 02:32:31.680 about how they were following ESG or some of these other things. Just push 1773 02:32:31.760 --> 02:32:37.159 back against CO two. Don't try to talk about how you're cutting your missions. 1774 02:32:37.399 --> 02:32:43.399 Her office is filed a lawsuit did it wednesday against JBS USA, a 1775 02:32:43.479 --> 02:32:48.520 division of the Brazilian meat packing giant, the world's largest producer of beef products, 1776 02:32:48.600 --> 02:32:52.559 because they've got, by hook or by crook, stop us from being 1777 02:32:52.600 --> 02:32:56.760 able to eat meat. JBS USA has claimed that it will achieve net zero 1778 02:32:56.879 --> 02:33:05.159 greenhouse gas emissions by twenty four despite documented plans to increase production therefore increase its 1779 02:33:05.280 --> 02:33:09.600 carbon footprint, said Latsia James. Go after Trump, go after the NRA, 1780 02:33:09.840 --> 02:33:11.799 go after meat and all the rest of this stuff. And what is 1781 02:33:11.840 --> 02:33:16.079 she doing on the basis of well, the basis of fraud. And yet 1782 02:33:16.079 --> 02:33:22.559 when you look at her expenses, yeah, office expenses at a luxury hotel. 1783 02:33:22.600 --> 02:33:28.079 You mark that office office expenses. So the attorney General's Office noted that 1784 02:33:28.159 --> 02:33:37.479 animal agriculture accounts for nearly fifteen percent of annual global greenhouse gas emissions. We'll 1785 02:33:37.559 --> 02:33:39.159 just tell her to eat cake, tell her we don't really care about your 1786 02:33:39.200 --> 02:33:43.799 co two fantasies. Let's stop playing this game. But again, they made 1787 02:33:43.840 --> 02:33:52.360 themselves culpable because they bragged about their ESG. And so she called it green 1788 02:33:52.559 --> 02:33:58.280 washing. Well, everything in all of this climate stuff is ultimately green washing. 1789 02:34:00.360 --> 02:34:05.440 And then we had someone from South Carolina send this to me. He 1790 02:34:05.520 --> 02:34:11.520 said, this story about a woman voting in South Carolina, even though she 1791 02:34:11.559 --> 02:34:18.319 fell and broke her hip at the voting station. They did an article showing 1792 02:34:18.440 --> 02:34:24.280 how she was so adamant that she needed to vote for Trump that she got 1793 02:34:24.280 --> 02:34:28.159 them to bring out the and I've got a picture of it here somewhere. 1794 02:34:28.239 --> 02:34:31.840 Yeah, here we are. They got her them to bring out the voting 1795 02:34:31.879 --> 02:34:37.399 machine so she could vote with her broken hip laying on the sidewalk. There 1796 02:34:37.440 --> 02:34:41.120 she is, And so they did a Facebook thing about it. This is 1797 02:34:41.200 --> 02:34:45.319 dedication. She broke her hip and refused to let the ambulance take her away 1798 02:34:46.079 --> 02:34:52.520 until they brought her the handicap ballot machine to vote on Wow hashtag Trump twenty 1799 02:34:52.639 --> 02:34:58.319 twenty four. It's a miracle, miracle. We must Where's Trump when you 1800 02:34:58.360 --> 02:35:03.000 need him? I'm sure that he could hear if he showed up. So 1801 02:35:03.520 --> 02:35:07.639 I just got to say that if this had happened to her in twenty twenty, 1802 02:35:07.639 --> 02:35:11.840 if you wanted to go vote for Trump in twenty twenty, and she 1803 02:35:11.000 --> 02:35:13.680 fell and broke a hip in twenty twenty, do you think they would have 1804 02:35:13.760 --> 02:35:20.120 given her medical care. They would have taken her to the hospital if they 1805 02:35:20.120 --> 02:35:24.200 didn't smother her to death with one of the Trump ventilators. They would have 1806 02:35:24.200 --> 02:35:26.319 told her, sorry, we don't have a bed. We got to save 1807 02:35:26.360 --> 02:35:30.120 all the beds in case somebody comes down with COVID. I'm serious, you 1808 02:35:30.159 --> 02:35:33.079 know that was what was happening, people being denied and turned away medical care 1809 02:35:33.959 --> 02:35:37.399 because we got the viruses everywhere. We got to well, I know the 1810 02:35:37.440 --> 02:35:41.040 beds are empty right now, but any moment now they could all be filled 1811 02:35:41.120 --> 02:35:45.719 up, and we got to keep you away from getting any care with your 1812 02:35:45.799 --> 02:35:50.600 broken hip. Got to keep all these beds open just in case. But 1813 02:35:50.719 --> 02:35:56.799 people commented on this Facebook post said a liberal would not have had the fortitude 1814 02:35:56.799 --> 02:36:01.719 to vote after a broken hip. Only God fearing conservative, and of course 1815 02:36:01.719 --> 02:36:03.440 it put God's name in lower case. No, don't bet on it. 1816 02:36:03.559 --> 02:36:11.719 Let me tell you something, Democrats are even more dedicated. Democrats a broken 1817 02:36:11.760 --> 02:36:20.000 hip. Democrats vote after they die. That's how dedicated they are. Another 1818 02:36:20.040 --> 02:36:22.319 one says, I wish Trump could see this. She needs a phone call 1819 02:36:22.360 --> 02:36:26.920 from him. A true patriot. I hope she's doing well. All the 1820 02:36:26.000 --> 02:36:30.600 rest of this stuff, it's just amazing to me. But again, none 1821 02:36:30.639 --> 02:36:35.200 of that surpasses what I saw from Wayne Allen Root a miracle. God's chosen 1822 02:36:35.200 --> 02:36:37.680 one. He's right there. And then this is a follow up to the 1823 02:36:37.680 --> 02:36:46.200 story that I had about Bill Gates releasing these genetically modified mosquitoes in various places 1824 02:36:46.239 --> 02:36:52.399 in the you know, to stop dingy fever and the rate of dingy fever 1825 02:36:52.520 --> 02:36:58.040 going up by four hundred percent. And so Jason says, dingy fever has 1826 02:36:58.040 --> 02:37:03.440 a very nasty side effect a second and in five years after the infection causes 1827 02:37:03.479 --> 02:37:09.000 a side constorm that kills. If Bill Gates is releasing mosquitoes that cause dingay 1828 02:37:09.040 --> 02:37:13.360 fever, this is huge. Well yeah, I mean, the bottom line 1829 02:37:13.440 --> 02:37:18.399 is is that even if you stop and think about this, let's say that 1830 02:37:18.520 --> 02:37:22.879 this is a legitimate approach to try to a long term approach. We're going 1831 02:37:22.959 --> 02:37:31.280 to release sterilized mosquitoes that we'll breed with other mosquitoes and then nothing will happen, 1832 02:37:31.319 --> 02:37:33.239 and so we will over the long term, reduce the population, you 1833 02:37:33.280 --> 02:37:37.000 know, like they've done with us humans. You know, that's the strategy. 1834 02:37:37.760 --> 02:37:41.799 Will sterilize male or female, are both, and gradually reduce the population. 1835 02:37:43.559 --> 02:37:48.280 Track the remaining people, kill a lot of them, survey and track 1836 02:37:48.319 --> 02:37:52.600 everybody else until we've got complete control. Well, if that was the case, 1837 02:37:52.639 --> 02:37:56.680 we're going to reduce the population gradually by doing this. Even though you 1838 02:37:56.719 --> 02:38:01.159 sterilize these mosquitos, you still release them out into the wild and they're still 1839 02:38:01.159 --> 02:38:05.719 going to be able to transmit ding gay fever. So it's not rocket science 1840 02:38:05.760 --> 02:38:09.559 to know that if you release you know, tens or hundreds of millions of 1841 02:38:09.600 --> 02:38:13.559 mosquitoes, that dingay fever is going to go up. That's a given. 1842 02:38:13.920 --> 02:38:16.280 It's not even a question that something like that is going to happen. So, 1843 02:38:16.399 --> 02:38:22.040 yeah, he is culpable in all of this because it's a bone headed 1844 02:38:22.079 --> 02:38:28.159 scheme. These mosquitoes that are alive but sterile are still going to be spreading 1845 02:38:28.239 --> 02:38:31.760 DN gay fever. Just because they can't reproduce doesn't mean they can't reproduce DN 1846 02:38:31.760 --> 02:38:37.040 gay fever, which is what these things always do. I mentioned this briefly. 1847 02:38:37.000 --> 02:38:43.360 This is from a listener who wanted to send me an email because I 1848 02:38:43.440 --> 02:38:45.639 talked to I'd had a quote about C. S. Lewis. I said, 1849 02:38:45.639 --> 02:38:48.799 I really enjoy C. S. Lewis's take on a lot of issues. 1850 02:38:50.440 --> 02:38:52.399 He said, just a quick note on C. S. Lewis, 1851 02:38:52.399 --> 02:38:56.600 I'll read this to you, and he says that like many new converts in 1852 02:38:56.600 --> 02:39:00.399 intellectually oriented churches today, I was quickly introduced to C. S. Lewis. 1853 02:39:00.639 --> 02:39:03.879 I read many of his books, early on nineteen eighty to nineteen ninety 1854 02:39:03.879 --> 02:39:05.600 of My New Life in Christ. That wasn't until about two thousand and six 1855 02:39:07.319 --> 02:39:13.440 I noticed that sprinkled amongst his brilliant sound truth bites were alarming lies and some 1856 02:39:13.559 --> 02:39:18.120 dangerous conclusions. He says he's kind of a type of Alex Jones in the 1857 02:39:18.159 --> 02:39:22.479 sense of lies being mixed with truth. Well, let me just say this. 1858 02:39:22.079 --> 02:39:24.799 You know the difference, says, you know, we all have lies 1859 02:39:24.840 --> 02:39:28.639 mixed with truth, whether we realize it or not. We all, even 1860 02:39:28.680 --> 02:39:31.520 if we're trying our best to tell the truth. We may get stuff wrong. 1861 02:39:31.959 --> 02:39:35.879 That's why I say we don't trust anybody. You know, if if 1862 02:39:35.920 --> 02:39:39.479 I say something, you should check me right. And when it comes to 1863 02:39:39.520 --> 02:39:43.319 religion, the standard is not what David says. It's what does a Bible 1864 02:39:43.399 --> 02:39:45.959 say? And that's not what C. S. Lewis says or J. 1865 02:39:46.159 --> 02:39:48.879 R. Tolkien or GK. Chesterton or whatever. It's what what does the 1866 02:39:48.920 --> 02:39:56.600 Bible say? And so the differences whether you knowingly lie to somebody, that's 1867 02:39:56.639 --> 02:40:00.639 that's what Alex was doing. Knowingly lying to somebody for fame and for fortune. 1868 02:40:01.200 --> 02:40:03.520 That's a very different thing than what C. S. Lewis did. 1869 02:40:03.680 --> 02:40:05.959 And I disagree with CS Lewis on some things, and I said the other 1870 02:40:07.040 --> 02:40:11.280 day I disagree with for example, John Lewis, who I think is a 1871 02:40:11.280 --> 02:40:16.280 great apologist to atheists. However, he has some things because he's coming from 1872 02:40:16.319 --> 02:40:22.040 a scientific background, he just can't bring himself to be a Young Earth creationist, 1873 02:40:22.120 --> 02:40:26.879 even if that is the best explanation for what the Bible is saying in 1874 02:40:26.959 --> 02:40:30.399 Genesis. I can't accept that. So he writes a book about that. 1875 02:40:30.479 --> 02:40:33.319 He's absolutely, I think, absolutely wrong about that. You can go back 1876 02:40:33.360 --> 02:40:35.639 and look at it yourself. Don't take my word for it, and don't 1877 02:40:35.639 --> 02:40:41.040 take his word for it. But he says he can be very dangerous in 1878 02:40:41.079 --> 02:40:43.399 some of the things that he put out. I said, I could list 1879 02:40:43.520 --> 02:40:46.440 many things, but he goes, here are some of the quotes I just 1880 02:40:46.520 --> 02:40:50.479 mentioned. He said, this is from CS. Lewis. There are people 1881 02:40:50.520 --> 02:40:54.319 and other religions who are being led by God's secret influence to concentrate on those 1882 02:40:54.319 --> 02:41:00.520 parts of their religion which are in agreement with Christianity, and who belonged to 1883 02:41:00.600 --> 02:41:05.319 Christ without knowing it. For example, a Buddhist of goodwill may be led 1884 02:41:05.360 --> 02:41:11.000 to concentrate more and more on the Buddhist teaching about mercy and to leave in 1885 02:41:11.040 --> 02:41:13.760 the background, though he might still say that he believed to leave in the 1886 02:41:13.799 --> 02:41:18.680 background the Buddhist teachings on certain points and many good pagans long before Christ's birth 1887 02:41:18.719 --> 02:41:24.959 and so forth. And then this Christ saves many who do not think that 1888 02:41:24.040 --> 02:41:30.799 they know him well. True faith comes by hearing the word of God. 1889 02:41:30.920 --> 02:41:33.600 And Jesus said, I am the Way, the Truth, thee life. 1890 02:41:33.639 --> 02:41:37.280 No one comes to the Father except through me. That is the offense of 1891 02:41:37.399 --> 02:41:41.959 Christianity. And many times somebody who works in an environment like Oxford, who 1892 02:41:41.959 --> 02:41:46.479 comes from an intellectual background, they will try to not be confrontational, even 1893 02:41:46.520 --> 02:41:48.719 if they're writing in the middle of the twentieth century like C. S. 1894 02:41:48.760 --> 02:41:52.600 Lewis. Did you know he died on the same day as JFK was assassinated. 1895 02:41:52.639 --> 02:41:58.079 Nobody even noticed, even though he'd been pretty well known. It just 1896 02:41:58.120 --> 02:42:01.959 comes down to what are you trusting right and are you truly following God? 1897 02:42:03.200 --> 02:42:07.159 And it also doesn't come down to us, you know. He says, 1898 02:42:07.159 --> 02:42:13.159 Well, maybe they're being led to focus in their other religion on certain aspects 1899 02:42:13.239 --> 02:42:18.200 of mercy. Well, they need to understand and they need to trust in 1900 02:42:18.280 --> 02:42:22.399 what Christ has done for them, don't they Because they have to do something 1901 02:42:22.399 --> 02:42:26.040 with their sin. And there is anything in the Buddhist religion that says what 1902 02:42:26.040 --> 02:42:28.680 do you do about your sin? You just, you know, work to 1903 02:42:28.680 --> 02:42:31.639 be a better person, and you work to do good works, and God 1904 02:42:31.680 --> 02:42:37.719 is going to approve you on the basis of your works. Well, there 1905 02:42:37.719 --> 02:42:39.799 are rewards and there are punishment based on what we do in this life, 1906 02:42:39.799 --> 02:42:45.719 and there are rewards and punishment in this life an eternity, there's rewards you 1907 02:42:45.799 --> 02:42:46.959 can have. But if you want to escape punishment. You got to do 1908 02:42:48.000 --> 02:42:50.479 something with that sin. And that's why Christ came and died, and that's 1909 02:42:50.479 --> 02:42:54.799 the thing that is unique, and that's why He is the way. And 1910 02:42:54.840 --> 02:43:00.000 you can't come to God if you have sin. There'sn't anything that you can 1911 02:43:00.120 --> 02:43:03.799 do to get rid of that. But Christ has gotten rid of that's the 1912 02:43:03.879 --> 02:43:07.000 Christian religion. And that's not what C. S. Lewis was saying there. 1913 02:43:07.920 --> 02:43:15.280 And you know what determines your salvation is one of the most important things 1914 02:43:15.360 --> 02:43:18.559 that you need, that we all need to get right, is what determines 1915 02:43:18.600 --> 02:43:24.520 that. This is from Robert, and he says, mister Knight to reinforce 1916 02:43:24.520 --> 02:43:28.159 the observations she made in the past. The rich thinking that they can merge 1917 02:43:28.239 --> 02:43:33.559 with machines. Notice how every cat or dog has a completely different personality, 1918 02:43:33.920 --> 02:43:37.920 traits, mannerisms, even if they're from the same litter. That's right, 1919 02:43:39.639 --> 02:43:43.120 God made all things through Jesus. Every warm blooded animal is unique. Honda 1920 02:43:43.239 --> 02:43:48.319 cannot make a robot dog with a unique, one of a kind personality. 1921 02:43:48.639 --> 02:43:52.200 They could make several different models to choose from, but not millions. From 1922 02:43:52.239 --> 02:43:56.840 the beginning from observation, I noticed this with wild animals in my backyard, 1923 02:43:56.840 --> 02:44:00.360 from crows to coons. I can spot the same animals each week by their 1924 02:44:00.399 --> 02:44:05.200 personality. Each one is unique. Even a lot of money and computers cannot 1925 02:44:05.280 --> 02:44:11.639 do that. That's correct. We are not simply, as I said before, 1926 02:44:11.639 --> 02:44:13.479 a lot of these people they can't answer what is it about us? 1927 02:44:13.600 --> 02:44:18.639 And what is our What is it? What are we? Really? We're 1928 02:44:18.680 --> 02:44:24.879 more than just this body that we have, because you know, the body 1929 02:44:26.280 --> 02:44:31.120 can be there, and yet when we die, something else has happened. 1930 02:44:31.559 --> 02:44:35.239 We are more than just a collection of electrical signals stored in the brain. 1931 02:44:37.079 --> 02:44:39.120 There's definitely something else that is there. And of course we are all very 1932 02:44:39.200 --> 02:44:41.799 unique, even to the extents I point out the other day. They're going 1933 02:44:41.879 --> 02:44:46.319 to start, you know, the biometric surveillance. They're looking at all these 1934 02:44:46.360 --> 02:44:52.200 different ways that they can identify us, whether it is by our face or 1935 02:44:52.200 --> 02:44:56.399 by our fingerprints, or whether it is by the way that we walk, 1936 02:44:56.479 --> 02:45:01.079 or even the way that we breathe, because each of us is so unique 1937 02:45:01.159 --> 02:45:05.959 that they can look at the turbulence of our breath somehow and make a determination 1938 02:45:07.079 --> 02:45:11.600 kind of reverse engineer gives them a picture essentilly of what your nasal passages are 1939 02:45:11.680 --> 02:45:16.000 like or something like that unique in the same way that your voice is unique. 1940 02:45:16.159 --> 02:45:18.520 You know what makes your voice unique, Well, it's also the same 1941 02:45:18.680 --> 02:45:24.120 nasal passages and things like that. But yeah, when you look at the 1942 02:45:24.120 --> 02:45:31.200 infinite variety that is there and yet at the same time the commonality of the 1943 02:45:31.239 --> 02:45:35.600 same design that is there, that is what is truly, truly amazing. 1944 02:45:39.239 --> 02:45:43.000 And so then this was also sent to me as well. This is the 1945 02:45:43.040 --> 02:45:46.079 one that just got this morning. This is from that, he said. 1946 02:45:46.159 --> 02:45:48.680 Unfortunately, I didn't know that you're doing and ask me anything last week, 1947 02:45:48.680 --> 02:45:50.239 so I forgot to send some questions. But I hope you can save these 1948 02:45:50.639 --> 02:45:54.639 for whenever you do it again. He said, So, what denomination of 1949 02:45:54.719 --> 02:45:58.959 Christianity are you, if any, and where do you go to church? 1950 02:45:58.120 --> 02:46:05.799 Well, I would say that it's I would characterize it as a reformed belief. 1951 02:46:07.079 --> 02:46:11.280 I'm not necessarily tied any one denomination. I go to a church that 1952 02:46:11.440 --> 02:46:16.639 is Smoky Mountain Bible Church, and I highly recommend the teacher there. He's 1953 02:46:16.680 --> 02:46:20.760 a great guy, great guy. What's your advice for someone who was raised 1954 02:46:20.760 --> 02:46:24.959 Catholic but thinks the Catholic Church as a cult and wants to go back to 1955 02:46:24.079 --> 02:46:30.840 church well, I would say that it's not just a Catholic church that can 1956 02:46:31.239 --> 02:46:39.399 put the institution first. Karen was raised Catholic and it was kind of a 1957 02:46:39.440 --> 02:46:45.200 cultural thing with her, and I think the key thing that I look at 1958 02:46:45.479 --> 02:46:48.840 and if you say that something is a cult, I don't know what you 1959 02:46:48.879 --> 02:46:52.440 mean by that, but I would say that the thing that concerns me about 1960 02:46:52.440 --> 02:46:56.159 a lot of different churches is that they try to make themselves the thing, 1961 02:46:56.440 --> 02:46:58.799 and you have to do it their way, and everybody doesn't do it their 1962 02:46:58.799 --> 02:47:03.799 way is wrong. We all try to understand what the truth is. We 1963 02:47:03.840 --> 02:47:07.239 all do our best to try to figure out what the truth is, but 1964 02:47:07.239 --> 02:47:11.959 it doesn't mean that we've got a monopoly on what is right. And so 1965 02:47:11.719 --> 02:47:16.719 how do we avoid that? Well, you know, even if somebody is 1966 02:47:16.760 --> 02:47:18.280 honestly trying to do what they think is right and they think they got the 1967 02:47:18.360 --> 02:47:22.680 right answer, you weren't going to stand before God and say, yeah, 1968 02:47:22.719 --> 02:47:26.280 but so and so told me this and I just followed them. Well, 1969 02:47:26.360 --> 02:47:28.319 you have responsibility to investigate it on your own. It's like I said, 1970 02:47:28.360 --> 02:47:33.280 don't trust anybody, whether you're talking about politics or or anything that's important like 1971 02:47:33.319 --> 02:47:37.280 that. You look it up yourself. Of course, in the Bible talked 1972 02:47:37.319 --> 02:47:43.159 about one town where they didn't just take you know, Paul's word for it 1973 02:47:43.159 --> 02:47:46.520 to Peter's word for some apostles that they actually looked it up. You know, 1974 02:47:46.559 --> 02:47:50.920 it's become something a cliche. You know, the Bereans, the Brians 1975 02:47:50.920 --> 02:47:54.440 would look at this to see if it was actually true. And that's what 1976 02:47:54.760 --> 02:47:56.200 you need to do. You need to question that. And that's the way 1977 02:47:56.239 --> 02:48:01.399 you grow, and that's the way you deepen your relationship with God is to 1978 02:48:01.399 --> 02:48:07.319 actually look at these things and to question them. And so that's what I 1979 02:48:07.360 --> 02:48:11.719 would say. I would say, be careful if there's ever a situation where 1980 02:48:11.920 --> 02:48:18.000 there's an organization that's trying to interpose itself or something else between you and God. 1981 02:48:18.520 --> 02:48:22.239 Right, there's one mediator between God and man, and that's Christ. 1982 02:48:22.280 --> 02:48:24.520 That's what the Bible says. So you know, go to the Bible. 1983 02:48:24.559 --> 02:48:26.120 Make that your standard. There's a lot of different ways that you can have 1984 02:48:26.239 --> 02:48:30.159 different standards for things. You can have a standard of tradition, you can 1985 02:48:30.239 --> 02:48:33.000 have a standard of what does the church leader say, you know, like 1986 02:48:33.000 --> 02:48:35.959 what does Fauci say about science? Well, you know, do your own 1987 02:48:35.120 --> 02:48:39.879 research about that. So you can have a lot of different things as standards. 1988 02:48:39.920 --> 02:48:43.600 For us as Christians, the Bible is a thing that is there that 1989 02:48:43.680 --> 02:48:48.559 isn't changing, and so it's an unchanging standard. What is your advice for 1990 02:48:48.639 --> 02:48:52.559 men who are single in their thirties but still hope to marry and have a 1991 02:48:52.639 --> 02:48:58.040 family. Pray about it, especially in this environment. You pray really hard. 1992 02:49:01.479 --> 02:49:05.799 And I would say besides prayer, you need to try to make yourself 1993 02:49:05.440 --> 02:49:09.879 the kind of person that God would give a good wife too, right, 1994 02:49:11.120 --> 02:49:16.200 somebody that he can entrust one of his children to your care. Make yourself 1995 02:49:16.200 --> 02:49:22.959 that kind of man. What do you think happens to people who believe in 1996 02:49:22.000 --> 02:49:26.879 other religions? Can Jews be saved seeing as they don't believe in Jesus? 1997 02:49:28.639 --> 02:49:30.680 Well, it was Jesus, as I said before, that said, I 1998 02:49:30.719 --> 02:49:33.159 am the Way, the Way, the truth, the life. No one 1999 02:49:33.239 --> 02:49:37.280 comes to the Father except through me. That's pretty exclusive, and that is 2000 02:49:37.319 --> 02:49:41.799 the thing that really nobody likes. And the reason for that, as I 2001 02:49:41.799 --> 02:49:48.360 said before, was because there isn't any other religion that has even a way 2002 02:49:48.520 --> 02:49:54.159 to even a theoretical way or whatever to do something with their sins. Jesus 2003 02:49:54.200 --> 02:49:56.920 died for our sins. He died to put us in a position with God 2004 02:49:58.000 --> 02:50:01.319 where we can then obey him and our obedience is now acceptable. But you've 2005 02:50:01.360 --> 02:50:07.040 got to you've got to do something with that sin. And there's only one 2006 02:50:07.479 --> 02:50:11.799 that has taken that. Let's see last question he's got here. If you 2007 02:50:11.799 --> 02:50:15.319 were ever going to leave the United States and live in another country, where 2008 02:50:15.360 --> 02:50:20.040 would you go and why? Well, we looked at going to New Zealand 2009 02:50:20.040 --> 02:50:24.479 in nineteen ninety eight because it was very small, it was very rural, 2010 02:50:24.719 --> 02:50:28.879 it's very isolated. A lot of people. There were some elites that were 2011 02:50:28.879 --> 02:50:31.879 moving there, and people were saying, well, if there's a nuclear war, 2012 02:50:31.959 --> 02:50:35.200 you know, the southern hemisphere is going to be a little bit more 2013 02:50:35.200 --> 02:50:37.680 protected than the Northern hemisphere with this stuff, all those different types of thing. 2014 02:50:37.760 --> 02:50:45.200 But we also wanted to see the place, and so we went to 2015 02:50:45.200 --> 02:50:50.680 New Zealand in nineteen ninety eight. And I'd also read some things about how 2016 02:50:50.719 --> 02:50:56.760 they had gone really hard into socialism, but then they basically bankrupted the economy. 2017 02:50:56.760 --> 02:51:01.760 They had people who were at their embassies and other countries like the United 2018 02:51:01.760 --> 02:51:03.799 States, and they couldn't even pay their bills, you know, got that 2019 02:51:03.959 --> 02:51:07.319 bad. But they pointed out it was very small and so they could make 2020 02:51:07.360 --> 02:51:11.079 some quick changes and you know, be nimble about that and made some changes, 2021 02:51:11.079 --> 02:51:13.799 and so a lot of people were saying so I think they learned their 2022 02:51:13.840 --> 02:51:18.559 lesson about socialism. I went down there and we scheduled to meet with a 2023 02:51:18.600 --> 02:51:22.799 guy who was essentially the rush Limball of New Zealand is the way they built 2024 02:51:22.840 --> 02:51:26.520 him. But it was some other people who were there with a libertarian group 2025 02:51:26.680 --> 02:51:31.879 that I found through the Libertarian Party, so we contacted them. He didn't 2026 02:51:31.920 --> 02:51:35.000 make it to the meeting. He canceled at the last minute, but I 2027 02:51:35.000 --> 02:51:39.639 did meet with the other people. We sat and Karen and I we were 2028 02:51:39.680 --> 02:51:48.959 talking to them about which country had the most anti freedom mentality, and they 2029 02:51:50.000 --> 02:51:54.000 convinced me that New Zealand did. So, you know, it was a 2030 02:51:54.040 --> 02:51:56.760 lot of well, we're not going to let you build a house this high 2031 02:51:56.799 --> 02:52:03.520 because then you're lording it over other people and people can't see the scenery because 2032 02:52:03.559 --> 02:52:05.920 of your house or this. That just micromanaged everything to the f degree. 2033 02:52:05.920 --> 02:52:09.639 And it's like, okay, you convinced me. But we had a great 2034 02:52:09.639 --> 02:52:15.000 time down there. We really liked it. But no, I wouldn't I 2035 02:52:15.040 --> 02:52:22.239 would not even think about moving. I'm here in the most conservative, most 2036 02:52:22.280 --> 02:52:26.159 Bible belt area that I can that I know of. Not to say that 2037 02:52:26.200 --> 02:52:28.360 others aren't just as good, but the ones that I know of, I'm 2038 02:52:28.399 --> 02:52:33.280 here, and and I'm not really into any travel, so I'm not going 2039 02:52:33.360 --> 02:52:35.200 to be going around looking at any other places. And this is where I 2040 02:52:35.280 --> 02:52:39.840 planned to stay one way or the other. We're gonna take a quick break 2041 02:52:39.920 --> 02:53:00.360 and we'll be right back using free speech too, free minds. It's the 2042 02:53:00.559 --> 02:53:05.920 David Knight Show. We got just a little bit of time left, and 2043 02:53:05.959 --> 02:53:11.680 so while we were talking about some of religious issues and things in that nature, 2044 02:53:11.559 --> 02:53:13.639 I thought, this is kind of interesting. There's a guy I don't 2045 02:53:13.680 --> 02:53:18.719 know who he is, Jack Hibbs, and he's evidently got a big California 2046 02:53:18.799 --> 02:53:24.799 church, Cavalry Chapel and Chino Hills, and he had he openly talked about 2047 02:53:24.840 --> 02:53:28.879 politics, and he openly endorsed Steve Garvey, who was running for Senate in 2048 02:53:30.159 --> 02:53:37.200 California, and endorsed Trump and everything. So I don't necessarily share his politics 2049 02:53:37.239 --> 02:53:39.360 on this a matter of fact, the only thing I've seen about Steve Garvey 2050 02:53:41.200 --> 02:53:43.959 was a clip where he said I had no support the Republicans on this abortion 2051 02:53:45.040 --> 02:53:46.440 thing. I'm not going to do anything to stop and interfere with abortion at 2052 02:53:46.440 --> 02:53:50.280 the federal level. And again, even though I don't think that this is 2053 02:53:50.319 --> 02:53:54.920 a federal issue that needs to be addressed in Washington, that's not the reason 2054 02:53:54.920 --> 02:53:56.879 he gave for it. The reason he gave fort He says, look, 2055 02:53:56.879 --> 02:53:58.840 I understand people in California like abortion. I'm not going to try to override 2056 02:53:58.840 --> 02:54:05.840 that. Well, anyway, he decided that, you know, he said, 2057 02:54:05.879 --> 02:54:09.959 it's very important to me that we understand that God's looking for a candidate 2058 02:54:09.000 --> 02:54:13.360 that's pro life. Well I don't think that's Steve Garvey. But anyway, 2059 02:54:13.440 --> 02:54:16.559 whatever he wants to endorse, that's up to him. But what the reason 2060 02:54:16.600 --> 02:54:22.280 this became an issue is because he did it publicly. And now this organization 2061 02:54:22.440 --> 02:54:28.440 called the Freedom from Religion from Religion? Is that in the Constitution, Well, 2062 02:54:28.479 --> 02:54:33.959 no, it isn't. It's a free expression of religion. Whatever religion 2063 02:54:33.200 --> 02:54:37.639 you have, you are free to do it. But the Freedom from Religion 2064 02:54:37.680 --> 02:54:45.879 Foundation is always trying to purge religion, the exercise of religion out of anywhere. 2065 02:54:45.920 --> 02:54:48.440 Did they see it? Tell you, what, how about we free 2066 02:54:48.440 --> 02:54:50.920 ourselves of you know, ninety nine point nine percent of all the religions that 2067 02:54:50.920 --> 02:54:54.840 we keep just one around. I'm okay with that. Well, I think 2068 02:54:54.840 --> 02:54:58.159 the government ought to stay out of it. And I think the exercise of 2069 02:54:58.200 --> 02:55:03.280 religion is not the establishment of religion. And they get that wrong. In 2070 02:55:03.360 --> 02:55:07.479 the same way that they say freedom from religion, we have freedom of religion. 2071 02:55:07.600 --> 02:55:11.200 So you know, just change a couple of words around and you get 2072 02:55:11.280 --> 02:55:15.079 completely wrong answer or a completely right answer, depending on which way you're doing 2073 02:55:15.120 --> 02:55:18.680 it. But here's the key. They're coming after him, and I thought 2074 02:55:18.719 --> 02:55:24.239 it was pretty amazing when I saw this on Christian Post. I think they 2075 02:55:24.239 --> 02:55:26.319 had this story and they said, yeah, look at this. He stepped 2076 02:55:26.319 --> 02:55:30.719 over the line. He actually talked about politics in church. That is not 2077 02:55:30.799 --> 02:55:33.680 stepping over the line, and the way they report it, they said. 2078 02:55:35.000 --> 02:55:37.879 So he says, I want to say publicly right now today, I encourage 2079 02:55:37.879 --> 02:55:41.600 all of you to vote for Steve Garvey. You got to vote for Steve 2080 02:55:41.639 --> 02:55:46.760 Garvey. I realized that it's against the law for me to say that from 2081 02:55:46.799 --> 02:55:50.879 the pulpit, he says. So he says that, and he goes, 2082 02:55:50.920 --> 02:55:54.840 oh, I just realized it's against the law. And then they chime in 2083 02:55:54.879 --> 02:55:56.399 they say, well, according to US Tax Code five oh one c three, 2084 02:55:56.440 --> 02:56:01.920 nonprofit organizations are not allowed to endorse or to oppose political candidates unless you 2085 02:56:01.959 --> 02:56:05.520 are a liberal and which case a liberal Democrat, in which case you can 2086 02:56:05.520 --> 02:56:09.920 go to black churches as much as you want. And you know that's not 2087 02:56:09.000 --> 02:56:15.440 a problem. This whole thing has been settled by the way the Alliance Defending 2088 02:56:15.479 --> 02:56:20.399 Freedom years ago, was almost a decade ago. They said, this is 2089 02:56:20.440 --> 02:56:24.440 not the law. This is an IRS rule, and this is an IRS 2090 02:56:24.559 --> 02:56:28.840 rule that stands in direct contradiction to the First Amendment, where we have the 2091 02:56:28.840 --> 02:56:35.280 freedom to exercise our religion, and that includes us being active in the public 2092 02:56:35.319 --> 02:56:43.040 square. You see, you got people like Rob Reiner, who and Mika 2093 02:56:43.079 --> 02:56:46.399 Brazenski and all these other Christian nationalists. We got to, you know, 2094 02:56:46.879 --> 02:56:50.559 intimidate Christians so they don't speak out in the public square if you can't be 2095 02:56:50.600 --> 02:56:54.600 a Christian talk about Christian values and talk about politics at the same time. 2096 02:56:54.719 --> 02:57:01.040 Bologney blooney, we have the First Amendment to protect us from that protected speech. 2097 02:57:01.479 --> 02:57:03.159 And so what they did, the Alliance Defending Freedom, they had what 2098 02:57:03.280 --> 02:57:09.559 they called pulpit front Pulpit Freedom Sunday and they had two or three pastors who 2099 02:57:09.600 --> 02:57:13.200 said, we're going to do what he just did. We're going to pick 2100 02:57:13.280 --> 02:57:18.799 some candidates and we're going to openly and defiantly endorse them. And they made 2101 02:57:18.840 --> 02:57:26.079 recordings of that sermon excuse me, and they mailed them to the IRS, 2102 02:57:26.600 --> 02:57:31.159 and so it was civil disobedience and they said, do something about it. 2103 02:57:31.399 --> 02:57:33.760 Well, fight you in court, will win. Well, the IRS didn't 2104 02:57:33.760 --> 02:57:37.879 do anything about it. And so the next year they had a couple of 2105 02:57:37.879 --> 02:57:39.479 dozen who did it, and then it grew and more and more did it, 2106 02:57:39.520 --> 02:57:43.520 and they did that three consecutive years. And I interviewed a guy from 2107 02:57:43.639 --> 02:57:48.399 that group to talk about that about a decade ago. They called their bluff. 2108 02:57:50.479 --> 02:57:52.440 They said, we need to do this on a number of issues. 2109 02:57:52.719 --> 02:57:54.200 This is you know, this is about religion, but we need to do 2110 02:57:54.239 --> 02:57:58.000 that on so many different issues. The government is bluffing on so many of 2111 02:57:58.040 --> 02:58:03.840 these things. When we go to medical marijuana or recreational marijuana, they have 2112 02:58:03.920 --> 02:58:11.200 no authority to prohibit marijuana or anything else unless they passed the constitutional amendment like 2113 02:58:11.239 --> 02:58:15.120 they did with alcohol, the eighteenth Amendment, to say we're going to prohibit 2114 02:58:15.159 --> 02:58:20.479 alcohol. They needed a constitutional amendment everybody, whether they agreed with the prohibition 2115 02:58:20.559 --> 02:58:24.479 of alcohol or not, agreed that they needed a constitutional amendment to do it. 2116 02:58:24.479 --> 02:58:28.680 So we got the eighteenth Amendment and the twenty first Amendment made it legal 2117 02:58:28.719 --> 02:58:31.479 again. Then they said, well, we're going to do this through the 2118 02:58:31.680 --> 02:58:35.479 Commerce clause. And they got a whole list of things that they have declared 2119 02:58:35.520 --> 02:58:39.319 illegal through the War on Drugs and none of it, none of it will 2120 02:58:39.319 --> 02:58:45.040 hold up to a constitutional case. It's why Jeff Sessions never did anything about 2121 02:58:45.159 --> 02:58:48.760 the states that were legalizing marijuana, either for medical use or for recreational use. 2122 02:58:50.280 --> 02:58:54.079 And they're bluffing people in so many different things. This is not a 2123 02:58:54.159 --> 02:58:56.920 law. This is something that was in the tax code, and the IRS 2124 02:58:58.040 --> 02:59:03.639 called it the Johnson Amendment because LBJ. Lyndon Baines Johnson, the Bane of 2125 02:59:03.680 --> 02:59:09.280 the Constitution, was opposed by some churches or something. When he ran for 2126 02:59:09.319 --> 02:59:11.559 reelection as a congressman. He got angry and he talked to the IRS and 2127 02:59:11.559 --> 02:59:16.639 he says, I want you to stop these churches from saying anything about politics 2128 02:59:16.719 --> 02:59:20.200 or political endorsements. So they put it into the tax coat. It wasn't 2129 02:59:20.239 --> 02:59:26.719 even put in by the legislature, and it's not an amendment to the Constitution. 2130 02:59:26.799 --> 02:59:28.440 They called it the Johnson Amendment, making it sound like it was an 2131 02:59:28.440 --> 02:59:35.319 amendment to the Constitution. They're constantly bluffing us on one thing after the other, 2132 02:59:35.000 --> 02:59:37.200 and we need to stand up to them, and we need to call 2133 02:59:37.239 --> 02:59:41.639 their bluff. And it's not just on religious issues, it's on all of 2134 02:59:41.680 --> 02:59:46.200 these issues. Well, thanks for joining us, Thank you folks for the 2135 02:59:46.200 --> 02:59:50.440 support.
